I wonder why they did that??? If you get into WWII history most of the Italian military hardware was considered to be pretty poor and most far outdated when the war started. They didn't really have the ability to improve very much as the war progressed. So I'm guessing if they used surplus Italian military engines they were not surplus from WWII. After the war all military equipment/hardware became the property of the allies. So most of the captured equipment was sold for scrap to help pay for the cost of the war. So I'm betting those engines were from equipment designed and built after the war was over?
Our own military did that for years. Used purpose designed engines and when a piece of equipment was updated sold off those engines in the supply system. Consequently those engines were not used in civilian applications so there were no parts available one they did wind up in other hands.

To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
