Kind of a fun challenge to try and figure out what the part is from or what
it was modified from though.
On my Jensens, for instance, we have bits from old Lucas, Jaguars, Austin
taxies, postal vans, Rileys, old Chryslers, usually about 5 years before the
date of the Jensen, plus some really oddball stuff like the selectaride rear
shocks adjustable with a switch on the dash.
And the radiator, which I swear was used a boat anchor for a rather large
scow somewhere.
When I had my charging system expire on me in Redding California, I removed
the suspect regulator from the firewall and took it to a nearby NAPA store,
The guy (an old guy, obviously) said instantly - Ah, 1958 Desoto, how many
would you like?"

The comonality can be a curse though, as there have been numerous
occasions when a hopeful person would hold up a part for me to examine
from a British car (typically either a race car or other exotic) and
ask; "isn't this the same as something you carry?".
The crestfallen look on their faces when I politely point out that; "no,
none of the regular sports cars had aluminium hubs".
