What am I looking at? Looks like two separate two cylinder blocks plumbed together.

Diesel off a city bus? They have engine bays that open sideways like that.

It's a Scania inline six mounted transversely in the back of a bus. It's nearly from Finland.

That makes sense, I didn't notice the CHMSL until you mentioned bus. I'm still curious on the engine. It looks to be an I4 but with two heads on it.

Only when put behind the driver.

That is a curious design with multiple heads and apparently siamesed exhaust ports.

False, even when put in front of the driver.

It's a Scania DS and is a perfectly conventional I6 except that it has two separate heads for reasons best known to those crazy Swedes.

Detroit Diesel did something similar with their Series 71 engines. They were available in everything from a single cylinder to a V-24. The large V engines (V-16 and V-24) used heads from the V-8 and I-6 respectively, so they had two heads per bank.
The exhaust ports are really screwing with me though because at a glance it looks like there are only four exhaust ports. Looking closer you can see that there are six but with really uneven spacing.

Here's another pic showing what appear to be four exhaust ports.
A bus builder here used those two stroke Detroit Diesel engines in the 1980s. They were chosen seemingly for their high noise levels, poor efficiency and poor spares back up, with everything having to come from Texas. They eventually realised the error of their ways and every vehicle since has used engines from mainstream manufacturers, usually Volvo and Scania.
