Default Unfamiliar bell housing

Found this mixed in with my Model A parts and don't know what car it fits? Appreciate your help. Thanks.

I first thought it was an AA, but on closer inspection I don't think it is..........

It has an interesting grease cup on the access hole cover....

Is it a BB because of the different clutch arm?

Now I see other differences too.....the engine mounting holes are different

It is a BB because the flange is different where it meets the flywheel housing.

Where is the "cup" for the front wishbone ball? It does not show on the underside.

To the frame X member, which the model A did not have. From 32 to 48 the radius rod attached to the X member.
