Pure speculation from my part -
I don't imagine Rebellion will be running a Ginetta. I think it'll be an Oreca, but the engine prediction is a bit harder. Mecachrome, Nissan, Gibson and AER are all possible.
I also don't see the Nissan engine being the manufacturer involvement in the Ginetta deal, otherwise we could say that the ByKolles has manufacturer involvement. I think the Ginetta sold cars may be for Alpine. They've been allowed, IMO, to run unfairly in LMP2 as Alpine. That was meant to stop when they started producing cars, and then they were given yet another season this year because the road car was slightly delayed - and they could brand a car. Let's be honest, they wouldn't be allowed to do that if they weren't French.
I can't see how it can be justified to allow Alpine to continue sticker engineering LMP2 cars, so it's either nothing or LMP1. So Alpine Ginetta? They're owned by Renault, who are linked to Nissan. Sticking an Alpine badge on that engine is easy enough.
My personal prediction, based on nothing but the thoughts in my own head
Rebellion - Oreca (possibly with R-Two branding) - Nissan/Mecachrome/Gibson/AER
Alpine - Ginetta - Nissan (with Alpine branding. Signatech running ops).
