Help with Component ID

[DCook]

Please reply with the identification of a couple of components in a truck I'm looking at buying ---
-- Engine Block stamping where the T245 should be is -- TI42*90465 -- Is this a civilian engine?
-- It is a winch equip truck but has an -- MU3-10F -- winch instead of a LU-4. Is that an original equipment winch model for our trucks?
I have not been able to bring up forum discussions when searching for the origins of either of these, so thanks for any help you're able to provide!!
Thanks

The engine type is suspect, maybe a depot changeout in later years or by a foreign gov't.

Is the oil filler pipe bolted to the block or pushed in?

All G741 series trucks were equipped with the Braden LU-4. Many MU-series winches were added by civilian or downstream users, but not OEM gear.

Hey Thanks for your great reply! Very helpful. I don't have a good picture to reference that shows the distributor area, which would answer the fill pipe question. I'll keep searching for details ----

Are you sure it isn’t a T149? Those are 218ci (civilian, probably from the late 40s).

Sebastian the picture I have is quite clear, and it's a TI as in eye not a one. this font makes it look like a one not a capitol I.

Look, I'm just trying to give a hand. I've never seen a TIx serial.
I've just done a 10 seconds search in Google and I got this I'm attaching....

See the serial the poster is declaring? The other forum member indicates probably it's a T-142. And he just informs what I've pointed out previously (just noted I wrote 149 instead of 142).
Anyways, this is just fast check online. Probably the serial TI is legit and there's almost no info about it to be found.

Finally had a chance to post a picture of the engine stamping in this truck. It is the "V41 Up For Grabs", that I was hoping to be all original. Still haven't figured out where this engine came from, but I think it's Civilian
