Snowhead is right, I put the comments on with educated guesses, I had no other reference. Based on all the feedback I got here and elsewhere, it seems to be a scavenger pump for a dry sump system, although the alternator is not shown on the model and I am trying to figure out if this part is a combination of both.
@PEG - "Start with suck-squeeze-bang-puff,and work towards all other four stroke principles." - I have done this on other webpages, but I need to order everything correctly. The internals are shown in the below image, there is a separate page for this and it is animated to show how the parts move.

Hi,i think this image,as i suspected,is a generic make-up,of similar types of engines,and their components.
If not,there would be,i suspect,a copyright mention of the manufacturer,and the model could be identified,and a definitive answer could be given.
It has an element filter housing,and would therefore have an internal mechanically driven oil pump.
On an a industrial,V6 turbo diesel engine,there would not be a primary oil lubrication pump,driven by a toothed belt. Any tensioner/belt throw issues = scrap engine.
If it is a scavenge pump,the drive is still wrong,there is not enough capacity,if it incorporates a reservoir,and,the only two visible lines,are from the sump to the main oil pressure gallery,which is incorrect,as a scavenge pump draws from the lowest point,and returns to a reservoir.
Tell me who makes that engine,and i will button it
