Hi Sten, E is the year, 1942, according to my info… It was made for paraffin, the small tank is for starting petrol, they made a petrol/paraffin version for Landmaster, my list says it should be a type 5. Normally my type number list goes up to 15, so a type 26 doesn’t appear…
The full list of types for 16H are as follows:-
16H type 2 – Landmaster, L150
16H type 5 – Landmaster, L150 (TVO fuel)
16H type 7 – Various, JAP Standard, (less governor)
16H type 8 – Jackaroo Go-kart (Villiers Nameplate)
16H type 9 – Landmaster, L150 (Rope Pulley Start)
16H type 10 – Various, Go-karts (JAP Standard, less governor)
16H type 11 – Various, (JAP Standard, horizontal C/shaft)
16H type 14 – Landmaster, L150 (Rope Start and Landmaster’s Fram air filter)
16H type 15 – Landmaster, L150 (Recoil Start and Landmaster’s Fram air filter)

All others were 16V, vertical crank for outboards….
