Yes looking at the second plate it implies that it may have been used as a grid tie generator.

Any induction motor will generate if driven above sync speed when connected to the grid.

For a stand alone generator you need to supply the magnetising current by capacitors and it is a less stable situation.

If the speed rating is as a generator then it may be 10 pole, you would need to do a bit of investigating to be sure. Not sure why the motor and generator plates have the same speed.

Build yourself a 130kW wind turbine and grid tie it.
