The C81A heads, 3 1/16 bore, single pulley water pumps and the blue paint all point to these being 85Hp CAR engines. The exhaust manifolds are 21A manifolds, meaning the engine was put together after 1941.

This engine is serial WC1363 and was shipped in crate 13 of 20, the other engine is serial WC1291 in crate 19 of 20. Obviously both of a similar batch built (or re-built?) at around the same time. I'd like to see more of that stencil on the bellhousing, seems to show a workshop and date reference.

The "WC" in the serials does not match a vehicle style serial, and may even refer to "Workshop Checked" or "Conditioned" if these are a rebuilt engine.
