Odd harmonic balancer / dampener

Did any other olds besides a w31 get a big balancer on them? I have an odd one here that I've never seen before. It isn't stepped like a w31 and doesn't have ears with 1/2 round notches like 425 or 330. It's a circle like a regular ol' 455 but The outer ring is really fat. I'm charging the camera battery right now to get a picture.

I mic'd the snout and it's 2" like an olds, and has the olds pulley bolt pattern.

The standard balancer usually has a 1" ring thickness....... this one has a 1.365" ring.

Well, thanks for looking. This one has me scratching my head. Just when I think I know a bunch, I get slapped upside the head and have to learn something else.

That makes sense. There was a KB pulley in the parts lot. but there was also a handful of random other BOPC pulleys too.
