Engine owners plate
I don't know what make your engine is, but normally the owners plate for a new engine was supplied by the manufacturer. The exact text on the plate may be stated in the build sheet. In the case of Aveling engines, details are available from Lincolnshire Archives.
If you can obtain this information, it may be possible to have an exact reproduction made based on (a) any original bolt holes in the motion covers may determine the size of the plate (b) typeface, letter sizes and formatting can be determined from engines of the same make which still have their original plates.
