This is actually a two-cylinder Andover APU that would've been found in the B-29, and not the "Flying Fortress." The B-17 and B-24s were fitted with a one-cylinder Homelite 24D series APU.

That said, still a nice unit to be had for someone who needs one. This one appears to have been robbed of a couple of parts - the most noticeable one being the 200 ampere generator, which was mounted to the back area of the unit where it appears a gas tank has been fitted.
