I don't know who makes them, but I don't think it's any of the usual German makers. Although somewhat similar to a Regner engine, it doesn't appear to be one of theirs, as the cylinders are shorter.
I think it's pretty expensive on that Ebay offer though - it costs more than a similar Regner oscillating twin engine:

or even than the Graham TVR1A kit, which is a more complex and interesting engine.

They are made in China. The Regner is far superior.
