Ah! That is a JAP "Featherweight". They were made by JAP for Alfred Lyons & Co Ltd (Alco) as the basis for a well known 300watt 12 (sometimes 24) volt WW2 generator. I've sent photos of a complete unit to Peter for his reference.

Some were actually sold by JAP's, but as they had no place in their commercial range, they just gave it a "3" designation, I suspect just for something to call it! The form of the digit on the timing cover is very odd.
