Could be a testbed/development motor, the induction system doesn't look 'production' ready.

I would imagine the actual block/heads etc are probably the same as a production spec motor with the induction and plastic protection being non standard, not sure what interest there would be in it as the scorpio motor wasn't really special compared to the likes of the DFV.

Could be worth firing off an e-mail to cosworth themselves as i would imagine they keep records of motors they've worked on.
