I don't have anything information myself but why not try looking through the pix
at the machine tools archive at <http://www.lathes.co.uk/> ?
Failing that, if you can take pictures of the lathe pieces you have then I'm
sure the guy who runs that site would be interested to see them and might be
able to identify it for you.

Andy,
One of these ?

If so I have one but no books on it.
Wiring diagram is inside the end cover, tailstock side or should be.
It's a pre selector gearbox that's worked by dialing in the speed then
pulling and pushing the front lever to engage.
They are not as rare as you think, I have seen 4 more on Ebay and the
web but no documentation on them.
Chances of spares are very remote.

Looks like a later type Stanko. Had an earlier one at a place I used to
work for. Standard of finish wasn't brilliant on most components, but
it was stiff, solid and dependable. There's pics of a similar machine
here:

Cheers, Scruff.
