What engine is this?

Today a scrap dealer called me that he had a beetle engine in. I went to look, not a beetle, looks very similar though. Block looks like a 1600 but large gear in the center instead of pully, flat distributor, on heads are 2 valve covers with each a rocker arm, so one rocker arm per cylinder. Also cylinders like a beetle, each pair of rocker arms is driven by a sawtooth belt and looks like it has timing marks on the gears. Looks aircooled, no water in and outs but i may be wrong there. Guy keeps it aside, pics on request, just curious what it could be. Any ideas?

Sounds like an old Porsche twin can. If it is you just made yourself some $$$$. Those things a worth a mint to the right people.
