The Ford Barn

Hello
I got this housing and used it to couple the french flatty to my 5-speed with an adapter plate. Unfortunately I don´t know the origins of this bellhousing. It fits the V8 perfect, has the same clutch lever but it is made from aluminium and has a different appearance than the hogs head. It is 95mm or 3,75"high from surface to surface. Do you know where it came from and where I could find the same again to build my next engine?
Thanks in advance!

Looks industrial ?

Meanwhile I contacted the seller and he thinks, it came frome a french Simca bus. He guesses it is rare like hens teeth. So if anyone has a nice hogshead for sale, I might be interested.
