agree looks like indian stamping to me, but neater than most...my 200 casing has a 602 prefix then a 6 digit number

other things to check for are 5 ribs on the flywheel side ingine mount and possibly rubber brake insection windows on the rear brake backplate..these poit to indian

to check if it's a 150 or a 200 you need to take the top end off and measure the bore or spigot size
