This thing (not the plug) comes from a german trade school.
So statistically it should be a Weiler part (90%).
My Weiler Matador does not not have the necessary attachment points.
Maybe someone recognizes it.

Not saying it has anything WHATSOEVER to do with a tracer-heritage Cazeneuve HBX-360, but.. given there are paired rails ~ 4 feet long down the rear vertical wall of the bed that form a broad-slot Tee wanting a roughly 2 1/16" plate about 1/4" thick by "however convenient" long?
Bolt on would be a coupla plates as "tee nuts", cut, drilled, and tapped.
Doesn't get a lot more painless as far as "custom" mounts go.
Scroll WELL down this page- just below the shot of dual hydraulic slides - for some photos. The rails are slightly different on the HBX-360, but mounting what you have - even though it does NOT look like Cazeneuve OEM - would be easy to either:
Cazeneuve Lathes Page 2
It might not even be too far off the position where the Cazeneuve tracer expected its template, given one of the versions of the tracers they used had a proprietary and patented extension snout on the spool valve with a pushrod and angled surface, others, not.
Even if NOT a fit? There is adjustment built into the device of its own.
All it would take to adjust the height centerline w/r to the ways would be a couple of flat plates, drilled and tapped. IOW - it is about as basic and "universal" a gadget as such things get, is it not?
Did any
others among the Euro lathes also have a rear-bed wall
accessory rail set for tracers, taper-turning attachment bed-equivalant anchor clamp, etc?
I think some did have?
