alfa engine

I was interested when I first came across this post and at first thought that the only answer was the one provided by Carlo that the engine came from a Tipo 900 truck and that the seller was incorrect with his capacity of 9300cc. I could not figure out how a ALFA 900 had found its way down under however and thought that it my have arrived in OZ by other means.
During the 1950's ANSALDO exported a reasonable number of tracked tractors to South America and Australia .
ANSALDO model TC60 and TC70 were 4 cylinder models powered by ALFA ROMEO model 1624 ,6330 cc engines.there was a later heavier and more powerful model ANSALDO AF8 using the ALFA ROMEO 6 cylinder engine which was a whopping 12.5 litres , could this be a version of the engine currently for sale? any thoughts!
