What do you call that, a VV-6 ? I wonder which way it was mounted on the
A/C.

Looks like an air compressor.

Do a Google Images search on "Anzani Engine" to see some similar
configurations. I did not see a 6-cylinder
of this type, but there is a 3-cylinder (among other oddities like 6
and 10 cylinder radials).

My thoughts exactly---one bank looks smaller than the others--but that
might be the viewpoint--Incidentally, there were quite a few "W"
configured engines made just after WW-I ---Jerry

They look the same to me . . .
Wonder what the crank looks like - 3 main bearings?

What you have in the picture, seems to be a French Lorraine 12 Ed aircraft
engine, circa year 1922. It is a liquid-cooled W-type engine (yes, 60+60=120
degrees most probably), but instead of 6-cylinder configuration, it's a
12-cylinder layout (believe or not). Capacity 24,4 litres, dry weight 425
kg. Power output 450 hp.

Check out this link. It has a picture of the engine.
