Any Sherman tank experts here?

I’ve got a possible bunch of twin Diesel engines and transmissions I am looking to acquire for a project. Could use some help identifying them.

Hi I am quite familiar with the tank 6046 twin pack what would you like to know?

I fiddle with 2 valve Detroit 671s as well.

Hi the bunch of twin Diesel engines and transmission are they the boat/industrial twin packs?
as these are different from the ww2 tank twin packs.
if you could post pictures then I could identify them.

In what ways are they different?

The industrial twin pack is a bigger transfer case as in the output casting is deeper it is a geared down out put i.e. Out put drive is slower then crankshaft speed.
Also no fan drive tower or gears on the balance shaft/ cam shaft cover.
and the tank version runs a triple oil pump
