Volvo Penta D1--29 Base Engine

[Spirit of Glenans]

A recent thread has prompted me to ask if anyone out there can tell me what engine was used as the basis for the Volvo D1-20?

I am not sure whether there is a base engine, but I believe they are actually made by Perkins.

Perkins 400 series?

Mine has a Perkins label riveted to the block but other than it is Japanese, I can not recall the details on it.
