July ’06 iteration, includes the Windsor and the “mini-listers” of the Topland group.
I have gone to the various manufacturer’s websites and assembled the following from their information. Some provide a lot of useful information, one provided a table of numbers with no labels as to what the numbers meant! None of them talk about sand in the sump. Some mention balance. It seems that the bore and stroke imply the degree of standardization between engines, which I thought might be useful. A few use the same piston and con rod in all their engines, others only vary the piston. A few change both. The dimensions of the foundation bolts, which may not be particularly useful in itself, would tend to indicate whether a different casting is used for the base.
“Standard”: 114.3 piston, 139.7 con rod. Con rods go from 130 to 177.8. Other common pistons are 120, 127 and 130. Materials are mostly iron, few aluminum. 330x330 mm foundation bolt for 1 cyl., 381x559 for 2 cyl., some variation. 5/1, 6/1 and 8/1 are often the same engine, only with an increase in rpm from 600, 650 to 850 (and likely with smaller diameter, heavier flywheels).
Other observations: 14/1 and 16/1 are most often made from odd sized or “non-standard” pistons or con rods. Oil capacities are not given for many of the engines, but the Kirloskar capacities are about half that of other manufacturer’s for the 6/1 & 8/1. The Hindustan Trading Co. “Mini-Listers” appear to be a considerably different design than that offered by others. The piston sizes are “standard” but the con rod and foundation bolt patterns are different than any other engines. Direct Injection implies a different head design than “standard”, and may have an aluminum piston.

The 14/1’s are two versions, one with larger piston & longer stroke but lower speed, the other with smaller piston, shorter stroke but higher speed. The 14/1’s use unusual piston and con rod’s. I wonder if there was a typo in their spec. sheet – why would they use a piston exactly the same size as a standard con rod?

These all use the same con rod, except the 14/1 and 16/1. Piston size and rpm varies. Ampro uses the unusual 152.4x177.8 piston & con rod in their 14/1 and 16/1 – these engines also have an unusual size of foundation bolt pattern. They offer what appear to be direct injection engines (“New Variety”), similar to (or the same?) as Satyajeet GM-90 in 6, 8, 10, & 12/1 models. Check out their toilets (water closets)!

It appears that the DI models are direct injection and likely have aluminum pistons. Heavy flywheels are available for some models, as are water pumps. Smaller engines are splash lubricated, larger likely have pumps but it is unclear. All use the same con rod, except one 12/1. Two versions of 8/1, one with smaller piston & higher speed, one with larger piston and lower speed. 5 versions of 10/1, some with direct injection, one with smaller con rod. All the same size base casting size except KE models of 10/1 and 12/1.

Second group has “semi-standard” bore of 120 mm and standard con rod. They have a bewildering array of options, including SDM or Super Deluxe Model. Curiously, the 18/1 and 20/1 do not have an oil pump, though many of the others do. The two cylinders are all standard bore and stroke. They also have high speed (1500 rpm) water cooled diesels from 3 to 45 hp and high speed air cooled from 3 to 20 hp. Some engines are designed for marine use. Also have gen sets, alternators, & pumps. They say they are India’s largest manufacturer of engines and pumps.

The 6 and 8 HP are splash lubed, the rest have pumps. All have 139.7 con rods, except the 14 HP. The 14 HP has the unusual piston size of 139.7, the same as the con rod in all the others. One other manufacturer has this same combination. RPM and piston size varies considerably, but many have the “standard” 114.3 mm piston. They also have Petteroids.
