Pretty close.  My understanding was that it was intended from the outset to
be a multi-purpose engine design; and was adapted for several applications
including the Vanguard (it's first usage), the TR2-4 (and variants like the
Italia and Morgan), and of course Ferguson tractors.

But there were substantial differences between the variations; the tractor
version in particular even had a different cylinder block casting.  Not
quite the "same" motor.  If memory serves, the Vanguard version only made 68
bhp; the Ferguson version even less than that.
