Hi Brandon,

There is a part number on the upper rear of the "A" side rocker cover (there should be) which should tell if it is a Packard or Rolls. A 6XXXXX number there or anywhere else for that matter would make it a Packard. I'm guessing that it is a 224 Packard or Merlin 24 Rolls which would posssibly put it in a Lancaster. It is definitely not a V1650-1. Not all that familiar with single stage Merlins.
