1939 R66 on Ebay
The Y 10 mark is on the top, just ahead of the bell housing. I have no idea what the significance of this mark is.
You may be able to make out the OZ-74 stamp on the flat area above the followers.
There are other stamps that BMW put on the cases. For the split case motors like my R12, there are two numbers that are stamped on both halves on the front right side. I don't know what they mean, but they originally matched. Similarly, the crank webs have numbers stamped into the sides, and they originally matched and lined up. The /3 and /2 tunnel motors have the gear train offset stamped into the top of the case.

It was usual for the both the cylinders and heads to be stamped with the engine number (or an abbreviation of it), however, I have also seen cylinders and heads without them.....probably replacement parts. On the cylinders, the number is usually on the upper side of the flange where it bolts to the engine. The number on the heads is usually on one side of the upper edge near the valve cover. I will look through my pix and try to post some examples.
If you are lucky enough to have these stamps (they are sometimes hard to see) that match the engine number, that is a good bonus and I would add it to your auction info.
I think it is typical to have oiler holes only on one side.
Good luck! Your auctions add a bit of life to eBay.
Best regards,
Bruce

I have some that do not have raked trees as well
I have several sets of forks and many in parts but I'm thinking these are the wrong ones....... and I have no idea why it would appear to need cable holders for what would appear to be a double sided brake drum

I was expecting someone to crank up a pre-war BMW near the end of the video...just a bunch of crickets, however...?
