This was the "Demolition Bumper" designed and built by Doug Richardson of
southern California. Doug also 'invented' the spin-on oil filter adapter;
I bought one from him circa 1976. All others are copies of his original,
one of which is a mirror-image with the intake and outlet ports reversed.
Caveat emptor.
The demolition bumper had fill and drain ports, plus a breather that would
allow for thermal expansion of the product. A sealed passage permitted use
of the hand crank. I haven't heard of or from Doug in two decades....
Cheers
