Yes I can .... possible...

Engine numbers D5 are sandcast

Numbers ED7 are sandcast ... but FD7 and GD7 are diecast...
(however some ED7 maybe? I've heard but never seen)

Post a picture on here of your engine side with ignition and clutch cable
assy removed and I'll tell you - if your in any doubt.
