It's obviously just a pre production one, like ForeignRS bro's got, very very different from the one in the piccie as well.

If you mean mine I bought it from Cosworth brand new only 6 months ago and is specifically made for dry sump engines, they make many YB derivatives that have nothing to do with Ford hence no badge, it was the same with the YB engines fitted to the Panther Solo.
