Air Cleaner needs Identified?

Who can help me identify the original application for this dual-snorkel air cleaner? Could it have been on a maybe a Starfire or Jetfire or Toro?
I havent got a clue but it must not be very common?
Any help appreciated!! And its for sale too - will be taking it to Carlisle too!

All I can find is that the Super Rocket was the 425 engine used in 1965 - 1967 Olds 88 and 98

You should recognize that Tweed! That is a '66-'67 with most of the snorkel cut off the drivers side, and the cut off end of it screwed to the passenger side.

Thats a great story Kurt (or Columbo)? But as he would say -- "just one last question,sir?
If it is the cutoff end -- then why doesnt the size (shape) match up? It is definitely not a match on either end????

I guess then we can call it a very rare "one-off" elusive item? Man its value must be climbing by the second?? LOL!!

It does, actually. There is a piece missing out of the middle of the snorkel. Notice the 2 pieces are shorter than the whole thing. The flange on the outside end is what is against the housing on the passenger side.
