I would have said Bauer block and a Mako all the way , Dude look at the air intake the support for the intake and the oil dip stick, all are the same as on Mako's same as the auto drain.

Don't be fooled by the blue paint, that unit was most likely produced by Bauer,Munich. When Mako was packaging units with Bauer components, they used Bauer blocks, auto-drains and filtration. However, I have never seen a Securus filtration system on a unit Mako produced. The sub-frame the compressor is mounted on is the European design, which wasn't offered in the US as far as I know. Not sure about Canada. The motor is also European.

Craig, I am not sure if this is relevant, but my 1978 Mako Branded Purus is mounted in a similar frame (it was originally owned by a Fire Dept. in KS), I have seen a couple of others mounted the same on ebay over the last few years. Note the motor/compressor placement is opposite the normal Bauer Purus placement.
