From the NTSB report:

Review of maintenance records revealed that the airplane's most recent annual inspection was completed on January 16, 2019. At that time, the airframe had accumulated about 11,120 total hours of operation. Engine Nos. 1, 2, and 3 had 0 hours since major overhaul at that time. Engine No. 4 had 838.2 hours since major overhaul at that time. The airplane's most recent progressive inspection, which was the 100-hour inspection, was completed on September 23, 2019. At that time, the airplane had been operated about 268 hours since the annual inspection.
If engine number 4 had 838.2 hours SMOH at the annual and flew about 268 hours more wouldn't that put the total at around 1106 in late September?

According to a Collings Foundation video these R-1820-97 engines were made by Studebaker.
