I hadn't realised this fact either! I'd assumed (never do that..) Rolls Royce took care of their own things elsewhere and not within another makers factory. These engine blocks may not have ended up as wartime equipment either - Rolls Royce were, and still are, renowned for their reliability. The engines could also have ended up in shunting locos or even rare items such as emergency winders for mines should their headgears fail.

The boiler on the left appears to be under a steam test with pressure gauge, water level sight glass and temporary regulator handle. A fascinating photograph.

Preassure testing yes, but with water. It was much safer.
