Mike,
The only Osborne I believe I have seen was a vertical engine. You can 
imagine my surprise when I saw the 4HP Horizontal "Famous/Titan" looking 
blue engine. The tag makes no reference to the Titan or Famous lines. 
Here is the tag picture:

Here is a shot of the front of the engine. No doubt this is original paint!

And finally a look at the flywheel showing the 2 bolt flywheels. Earlier???

With that said, it is interesting that there is no hot tube boss on the 
top of the cylinder.
