Using the numbers you gave the V52F seems to be the model and the best I could find is also used in some New Holland tractors so they might have the parts. The SAF 004222 my guess is serial numnber.
As to why did one company use another company's engine...well you can ask about any company out there as most if not all have or do so. From autos to heavy equipment. For what ever reason it makes more sense than developing and or building the number of engines they need or they don't have the time table to do so. ....

I've noticed that a lot of companies don't cross-reference part numbers between countries.
The same part will have one P/N in Asia, and a different number in North America and no way to connect one to the other.
You need to find out an exact match for that engine in another machine that was sold and supported in North America.
Same goes for OEM and 'other' companies. I've seen plenty of re-branded machines with a completely different set of P/N's even though the 'local' part often arrives with the Asian P/N on a label on the packaging.
Best of luck. ....
