Can anyone confirm this engine number:

8G9 R L 29932

Has the hole for the mechanical fuel pump, and it is a 948.
The reason for asking is the gold paint it has, combined with a number I don't recognize

As Dennis has said it was only the Austin engines that were made for fitment of a mechanical fuel pump so it might be an Austin engine number.

Might very well be indeed.

what did the factory reconditioned units have as prefixes?

As far as I know , the 8G was used on all reconditioned engines.The engine on my 1971 pickup begins with 8G.I presume the gold paint on yours points to it being a goldseal recon unit......!

the 950 on the side gives the size away fortunately
