Ciao Fabio! Motor looks to be a 605A. Big impact!

Fabio! The motor dataplate should be fitted above the Left main motor mount (at the top, in the middle). Otherwise, the motor serial number is stamped on every main-bearingcap.
Best wishes, SM

Hi Sm, is this? thanks

Ciao Fabio!
No, those are batch numbers and parts numbers. The 9-605.301-001 shows this to be a 605A part. However, could also be from a 605AM/AS/ASM as they are the same, but only built after spring 1944 or later. If you look at your picture img432/9 (engine), the dataplate should be on the flat top of the engine mounting at the top of the picture but on the other side of the motor (ie top lefthandside, centre). Also, the motor number is stamped on the top front edge of the crankshaft cover, just behind the exposed reduction gear pinion.

Ciao Fabio! Nearly, the position of the data plate should be on the top, where the red arrow points.
Best wishes, SM

It's clear,on the right side of the engine,five black numbers( 01104 I think,others are missing)

Hi Alessandro! The dataplate should be under the the "'06" of your signature on your first picture. It may be hidden by dirt or missing from the crash. Otherwise, the main-bearing caps all have the motor number stamped on each one. If you clean them you can see them. The painted numbers are factory batch codes or dates. The three-letter manufacturer code is visable on some castings-needs decode.
Great pictures, hope the dataplate is there!
Best wishes, SM
