It's probably from a Poundshop.

To answer the question re oil more fully I have two twins, 20/50 in one straight 50 in the other. The one I am using 20/50 in was stripped, crank reground and sludge trap cleaned out before changing. Some suggest that the detergent quality of some 20/50 would not be good with an old and dirty engine. The other twin I am not sure what the previous owner was using so I have stuck with Morris Sae 50.
