This compressor is probably from the 80s-90s it is a piston type unit with the shell being on the low side of the system.
It certainly could have been used on many Whirlpool refs and other brands as well, WP used a lot of this brand compressor after 1984 when they stopped building the wonderful Whirlpool-Seeger rotary compressor in their larger refs.
It has has two oil cooler connections as David noted, usually if the compressor was used with a condenser fan blowing over the unit you did not have to use the oil cooler loop, but with a static condenser you needed this loop to keep the oil cool enough.
These were reliable compressors but probably not as long lived as what are being used now, this compressor still draws 250-300 watts compared to just 100-150 watts for a similar capacity compressor today, all that additional heat to disperse is what ruins frost-free refs from the 60s into the 90s and is why relatively few FF refs from this time period have survived when you consider they made about 300 million of them in this country.
