Need Help Identifying a Taper Attachment

I have a larger taper attachment that I bought as part of a lot several years ago. I had thoughts of using parts of it to make a taper attachment for my Colchester lathe but have since decided that it is just too big to be practical.

I would like to determine what type of lathe it is for so I have attached some photos to see if anyone recognizes it. The overall length is 29" and the width is about 12". The face of the mounting bracket that attaches to the lathe is 11" wide and 4-1/2" tall. It probably weighs 80# or more but probably less than 100#. I don't see any markings that identify the manufacturer.

Does anyone recognize this?
 
I scrapped two similar to yours that dad drug home that came off of a Mazak oil country lathes built in the late 1970's. They were a little bit larger though. Don't recall the extension springs as used on this one. Somebody could have added them later in life.
