LDS-465-1A was the standard multifuel found on the 5 tons of the day
Looking at the pics on the dataplate, wondering if it's an LDT-465-1x b/c of the 134 HP rating
The contract # for the engine indicates 1987. So one would assume it is a 1987 and later engine
Can you make out the dataplate on the IP? It will also indicate if it's and LDS IP

Here's the standard LDS-465-1A dataplate that I have seen on the LDS'. Not sure if there are other formats out there but this is the only one I've seen. Did any of the 5 ton MF come with the LDT engine?
