Miliatary gensets are deceiving.

There is a 3 Kw unit that uses the 4 cylinder
air-cooled engine and weighs about 800 pounds!!

The reason for the big engine is because it only runs
at 1800 rpm's for longer engine life.

This genset would fit that footprint.

But I still don't know which set the 620M is.
