If you recognize the 3-cylinder radial, finding this one is, well, quite easy.

I must amend my answer.
 The aerofiles data claims the first M-2 (Bu No A442) initially had an ABC Gnat. This suggests the ABC motor was replaced with a Lawrance. Therefore the a/c in the photo could be either of the three - but not the original version of A442. Sorry for missing that important detail and hopefully there isn't a demerit coming my way.  VBR Rod
