Your last question seemed to show you had the same idea that I had which is that it could well be a 1906 40 h.p. Berliet engine. Here's a photo of an example:

1909 for the year, Hotchkiss?

Not a Hotchkiss; 1909 is correct

I've found that Delahayes had T-head engines with cylinders cast in pairs, and they also made trucks. I just can't find an engine photo to compare with.

No, I don't. At he time this one was on offer, this maker was selling cars with engines of this general type in more than one displacement and output.

OK, to me that says that it was one of the more prominent manufacturers. How about TH Schneider?

I must say this puzzle is quite challenging, not a bad thing, just more obscure than I thought.

Not a TH Schneider.

The puzzle engine is from a well-known make.

Most of the known makes have been covered, Lorraine Dietrich? Period L-D engines have a similar manifold, and the water pump is on the same side, as well as having separately cast blocks.
