Morning Amos: Perkins usually had a flat casting block machined into the side of the engine with the identifying numbers of the engine machined into the surface.  At least that was the case for the 4-236 in the 715 and 715B series backhoes.   The 706 AC Forklift shares some similar components (driveline) to the AC 700 series backhoes so therefore similar.  

That said, I would recommend you take a small wire brush and get after the block and hunt around for a Perkins tag or see if you can find the casting it may be buried under grease and oil build-up.  HTH's ~ Orangeman

DIESEL was Perkins ........ GAS ...( Perkins G4-203 or G4-236 ) ... older had FORD

Perkins only made a few variations of GAS engines.. most were diesel ... Sticker or TAG somewhere ?

What’s the top of your 706c’s engine look like?
Does it have an overhead valve train with a tin valve cover(ford/Perkins)?
Does it have a flat-top cast head with distributor sticking up in center of it(Continental)?

My 706b has a transplant flat-head continental in it. Some previous owner probably replaced original Ford engine with it? Continentals are plentiful in the forklift world.
