Is it just me, or does it have a bellows type aircleaner hanging under the engine cover deck?

The engine cover has a plate on it giving instructions on how to purge the aircleaner of dirt prior to starting the engine. Would that be the bellows type of aircleaner you mentioned? I,m attaching a photo of the tag.
Cheers

dont quote me but i beleive the British rear bogey assemblies were fabricated steel rather than cast and the engine rails are slightly different, if this helps ?

I wish i had had something like this as a starting point......mine was terrible...not the worst on here but far from the best

By the way, the picture I attached is of an embossed number found on the lower left hull behind the tensioner bogey. Does anyone know how to decode these to possibly find out the carriers history? Thanks
