Yes! LOCKED for you to identify the model designation (RAC/actual horsepower ratings).

No

According to that article, the chassis shown is actually a new 1920 model with 6-cylinder engine (probably built in the U.S.). The puzzle chassis looks similar, but it was built in 1915 (as you guessed) in Northern Ireland and powered by a different engine.

Still LOCKED for you.
