It would be interesting to see how the major dimensions (weight, wheel base, overall width, length, etc) compare with the "regular" Jeep.

That is not the tractor motor, it looks like a Herc. engine with the water outlet in the center of the head. The GP had the tractor/commercial engine. I own one of those proto's and it has a lot of std Ford parts.

The motor looks very much like the little 4 cylinder Flathead Ford motors as used in the English fords of the pre/post war era.
