Hello PC and CJ

I agree with Jack that the blue Sunbeam is the same base for the two and four stroke motor.

The orange / brown base Sunbeam, I believe the two stroke base was cast and then the centre
was machined out when the four stroke motor was used.

It's a lot cheaper making one metal die than two dies.

In pic S2 it shows the two stroke base with the four stroke casting built into the base.

Cheers
Max.
