PowerPedal: I know you asked the question of Dick Smith, but part of the answer is readily available on-line via https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolls-Royce_RR300 :

"...Rated at up to 300 shp (224 kW) at take-off power, the RR300 is a rebadged and downrated variant of the Rolls-Royce [ie: Allison] Model 250-C20..."

So R66 gas turbine is a variation on the Jet Ranger gas turbine.
