Can anyone identify this engine/gearbox adapter plate?

[CAPP0]

I recently bought a replacement LT95 gearbox, which after fighting it into place turned out to be 150-odd kg of scrap metal It arrived fitted with an adapter plate for a different engine (mine sits behind a 3.5 V8). The seller originally said to me that he wasn't sure whether I needed the adapter or not, but if not, he would pay for me to return it to him. Notwithstanding the knackered box he sent me, I'm a decent sort so I still telephoned him and offered to return it, hoping that when I told him that the box was no good, he might offer me something back. He didn't, and he has since ignored my emails (still) offering to send him the adapter back.

So, maybe I can sell this plate and recoup some of my outlay. I've seen adapter plates on "a well known online auction site" going for £150 or more, but clearly I can't list it without knowing what it is! I vaguely recall him saying that the gearbox came out of an RR Classic with a diesel engine, *possibly* a Perkins but maybe something else.

I can't find any reference number stamped or moulded on it anywhere. If any of you recognise the adapter from the pictures below, I'd really appreciate it. It has a moulding for the starter on one edge, and the clutch release mouding on the opposite side, as with the standard LT95 box.

Thanks a lot!

I may be wrong, but it looks like a tdi

Bumping this one back up as I haven't had any luck.

I believe that it's designed to fit some form of diesel engine to the LT95 'box, but almost certainly not a standard Land Rover/JLR lump. Possibly Perkins, possibly Mazda - but any/all suggestions welcome!

May be an Isuzi .... Steve Parker Landrovers use to do conversions.

I had a 2.8 turbo Range Rover Classic.

Just spoke to someone there and he said if I send him the picture he'll have a look and see if he can ID it.

Hey did you ever find out what that mating plate was for?
Nice for me if it was for an Iveco 2.5

No, I never did, and it's still in the shed. If you want me to take any specific measurements, drop me a PM!
