Diesel generator question

Apparently that motor carried many "badges"  further research will show that Porsche use it also in a tractor 

Well the Diesel gods smiled upon me... I just returned with the mystery diesel.

It turns out to be a Mercury Quicksilver 8kw 1800 rpm diesel 3 cylinder 4 stroke water cooled.

It sat new for 27 years, still has the factory plug in the fuel line, has quite the layer of dust on it.

It came from the estate sale of a Mercury dealer, he was saving it for something?

It is a Shibaura N843 directly connected to a US made Pancake 120/240 generator.

That is interesting because it looks almost exactly like my friends Northern Lights marine diesel.
