'48 F1 Heater Core Problem

My dad is helping his neighbor fix his '48 F1 flathead, which recently developed a significant leak in the heater core. The core that the auto parts store said it was definitely wasn't, and the old core/heater box has no markings of a part number/manufacturer anywhere. We suspect this box was retrofitted after the fact, possibly about 20 years ago when he had it professionally restored.

Does anyone recognize the below box/core?



Thanks,
Jon

Thanks for the info. We were able to find a place locally to rebuild that heater core and it worked just fine. Now the speedometer is another story...
