If all that stuff that usually identifies the engine is missing, then you
can check the cylinder diameter, which, if it's a 1098cc engine, should be
64.58mm. If it's considerably larger than that, then it's a 1275. (It
can't be a 948cc because it doesn't have a hole on the side for the
mechanical fuel pump that all 948s have.)
