Anyone recognize this Ford triple crank pulley?
 

I bought this pulley at Hershey last year as a blower pulley for a flathead.

I wasn't paying attention that all three pulleys weren't the same size. So, that started me thinking that perhaps this was a bus pulley with two belts for the dual water pump belt arrangement, and the third smaller belt for an accessory item.

Anyway, anyone recognize this pulley as a big truck pulley, ambulance pulley, bus pulley, etc?

This site shows an original 3-pulley but not like yours.

Edit: But since I now realize you are talking about main pulleys and not gen pulleys, my comment is worthless and I do apologize since I can't seem to delete it...so here we are...

I was thinking maybe for a flathead V8 big truck or bus with air brakes that used an air compressor.

I don't believe that pulley was used with the '37-'41 truck pumps. The grooves in the truck pumps are adjacent to each other, your pulley has a space between the grooves that would be used with the truck pumps.

Since it doesn´t have a built in spiral for oil it looks like a newer style pulley.
Diameter of the hole ?
The French flatheads had 3 groove pulleys...not sure how they look.
