Nope, for sure not a German cast engine.

The German cast Model A engine blocks originally did not have any special foundry marks during the normal Model A production years (just like like the ones from the US). I have one from 1931.

Later replacement blocks had the letters "GS" with a Ford script foundry marks (carried over to the German Ford Rheinland engine blocks) and later the letters "EB" in an isosceles trapezoid shaped box with a Ford script (both under the engine number block) (carried over to the G28T engines).
