I wonder if they have the figures wrong, 610kw is around 800hp not 1310hp.

I have the V8 of this engine and puts out IRO 770hp. I believe the V12 is IRO 1150hp

Actually Davy_S was correct, the left bank turbo is missing.

I wonder if any of the internals have been used for spares

Different animal, M.
That engine is a TE72 series, meant for medium duty applications and indeed rated for 610kW (=829hp) @ 2100rpm.
The 1310hp mentioned is just completely wrong.
Your V8 belongs to the TE93 series, meant for low load applications (i.e., pleasure boats) and is rated for 564kW (=767hp) @ 2400rpm.
The V12 equivalent produced 846kW (=1175hp), also at 2400rpm.

LOL, I understood that you mixed up the front (where the water pumps could possibly be mistaken for turbos) with the back of the engine.

This type of engine in its 1100hp version was used in railway locomotives, A twin installation could pull a four hundred tonne train at 80mph obviously no slippage in the drive !
