Can someone identify this radial aeroplane piston engine?

Looks like a 9-cylinder Wright R-1820 Cyclone (G?) rather severely cut-
away.

(wouldn't bet the farm on it tho')

No, that is not a Wright Cyclone. The engine in the picture is a double
cylinder row type, but it's difficult to notice at first. Look the lower
cylinder at seven o'clock and you'll see the front cylinder row push rod
arrangement in front of the cylinder. Look the cylinder left side of it, at
8 o'clock and you'll see the push rod tubes behind the cylinder. That's the
rear cylinder row.

How about some version of Pratt & Whitney R-2800:

Just ignore the supercharger unit and look the front part of the engine.
