Mystery O gauge chassis

 

As usual, I am a model railway junk magnet - and the latest waif and stray to come my way is this O gauge chassis. 

It's well made, with a lovely gear train. 


Pop a 9v battery on, and it turns over silky smoothly. 

But what is it?  I suspect the chassis is scratchbuilt, possibly in the 1960s from the look of it. The wheels I don't recognise either. They are like giant Romfords, with those central retaining nuts. 

So, can anyone help identify any part of this? 
 
And, what could I use it under?

I can't access my collection of old catalogues, but the rounded corners would suggest a commercial product to me.. But then again...

Wheels might be by the Leeds Model Company. There is a nice little rabbit hole here... https://www.milbromodelrailways.co.uk/

Interesting web page - and I agree, the wheels look the same. I wonder if this is from a 2P?
