Hi Simon,
I was looking at some old photos of my engine and I have similar numbers in
the same place. I can't make them out in the photos. My guess is that these
indicate the date that the engine was built. 10 could be week of the year
which would put it the 2nd week of February. 20 would be the day and 62
would be the year. No clue on the letters, maybe the builders initials.
Again this is just a wild guess.

Among other numbers and letters, H 13 is stamped on a mating sump =
surface of the main block and the front and rear mating parts of the =
engine.  I surmise that these numbers are similar to the body parts =
codes in that they ensure that those items are kept together during =
manufacture of the engine.
