I have a 2 L mariner, powerhead serial number D050422 on the freeze plug and OD 123391 on the transom mount… checking to see if it is actually a 2 L Bridgeport powerhead if anyone could help me that would be greatly appreciated??

Was hoping it may have been a real Bridgeport, but I guess not according to the serial numbers
