You have a "creatively restored" TS-15 or TS-20 5hp – the TS stands for "Twin Standard". They were offered in 1941, 42 and several post war ones have turned up. If it’s not stamped on the rope plate, the model and serial # can probably be found on the boss on the port-side of the block just above where the leg and powerhead mate. Don’t see that many TS models, its fancier brother the TD (Twin Deluxe) is one of the most common of old outboards – the two are the same in every way save the recoil.
