Wright R1820 is 6.15 inch bore which is 156mm, pistons are usually a bit smaller than the bore. It could also be from a Shvestov Ash-62 which has the same bore as the 1820.
 
I am not an engine expert, but it can not be a Wright R-1820 as that had 9 cylinders, the connecting rod has 1 master and only six holes for other rods, which adds up to seven. The Wright R 1300 had only seven cylinders with a similar bore.

How about one bank of a Pratt 1830?
The P&W had a 5.5 inch, 140 mm bore, where the Wright R1300, R1820, R2600, & R3350 all had the approximate piston bore of 6 1/8 inches, the original post states 154 mm, which is a calculated difference of about 1.5 mm. The R1300 and R2600 are 7 cylinders per row, and the R1820 and R3350 are 9 cylinders per row.

Dohh I never counted the number of Conrod holes. I think you might have cracked it.
