Its a factory recon unit.

HAs it got the mechanical fuel pump bit? And perhaps 1100 on the side?

As Onne says it is a factory recon unit, unfortunately ALL sizes have the same prefix, 8G, so look beneath the exhaust manifold just behind the
front engine mount on the crankcase where you should find an indicating
plate.
