Notice the sun burst on the head.

The distributor reads Auto-Lite, Toledo, Ohio. I'm not familiar with this distributor.

Autolite and Mallory both made modern type replacement distributors for Models A & B.

A lot of cylinder heads of different compression ratios have been made for Model As as well. Ones with no name were likely just aftermarket or subcontracted replacements.
