Isn't the Toyota engine based on the Chevrolet / Bedford 6-in-line?

I'm sure our Australian friends can help us out, they changed over from British to Japanese vehicles en masse.

The early toyota FJ45 motors were based on a chev motor with better oil circulation and side engine mounts
The engine in the picture is not a Toyota FJ45 engine as the manifolds are the same side a a Chev and picture is opposite
Also tappet cover is not the same

Not sure, but it might be an International. The carby looks like an Inter one.
