IF it is the original engine......
And
IF the engine hasn't been rebuilt with a different crankshaft, different pistons, machined heads, etc.......

It is a US 1200 engine.

The engine number is below the generator. That will only tell you what it was manufactured as.

You would need to measure stroke and bore to verify originality.
