Mystery rotating V block

Does anyone recognise this rotating V-block? There's no makers name or other marks that I can see. The key is for a 7/16" T-slot, so it doesn't fit on my Super 7, even though I discovered it in the stand that the lathe came on.

Any ideas on what it's used for gratefully received.

Thanks very much. Which model of grinder is that?

ICBW but the base looks not dissimilar to that of a Myford 2 way Vertical Slide.

Don't know if they made other models, but mine has two studs in each swivel, and the base uses the same 2 studs to clamp to the crossslide via tee nuts. It's also a good deal more substantial.

Aha, so you have one too. I got mine free from work.

No not mine, just a friend's who happened to post that photo the day before.
