They are more than likely arbitrary engine numbers allocated when remanufactured by an unknown engine rebuilder.

Sprite engine looks fine to me. It 'may' have the 206 head -or even the 295. I doubt it will hold at £60.... I only see one engine?

I'm not sure this one is a 1098.....it has a 948 backplate...and the head is obviously not the original for the engine - ask to see the other side of the block to see if it says '950'......

Don't know about the "10abu" part but I think the "l" denotes low compression.......
You keep finding them spares.

THAT's certainly a 1098.
