What does this oil tank fit?

OK guys, you were so helpful on the fender question, now I have an oil tank question. What does this oil tank fit? I have looked through the technical subject "oil tank" here in the Technical section of the forum and appears to me like some fittings are headed in the wrong direction and the mounting system is unusual. What do you make of it. Apologies for the subpar images.

Pretty sure it is an electric start bag, at least 1967 or later, probably later. The distinctive mounting tab is bent back, but it is there. The little slot on the upper tab is where the strap for the gigantic H3 battery goes.
