We have a Meteor at our museum here which we occasionally run.
The most internals such as pistons,con rods,cam assys,liners,crankshaft and even the cylinder heads at least look the same.
And it should be because of its origin.
But this is just a guess.

The upper and lower crankcases is totally different and also the rear transmission housing for magnetos,pumps etc


But the engine sounds,smell and looks gorgeuous with its
2 " exhaust stubs,especially when it's dark!
