Does anyone recognize this piece? Can you place it to a year or motor?

Since 1925, about 150 different racing outboards have been made.
No its not a stern drive part, but it is an OMC part and I can't place it, I wonder if it was a lift cylinder used on a Cushman, there was some odd things that came from over there
Is it for sale? I have what I think to be a KC13R. It belonged to Bob Witte in 1971. It's in running condition and I would like to set it up on a tunnel but would really like to have a trim for it. Thanks, Tim
It might be, I'll ask

Tim, Do you have pictures of your KC13R? if so I'd love to see them.
Its my favorite motor and its been a long time since I saw one in one piece.
I owned this motor years ago and just got it back in my possession. I took it partially apart to inspect it. It is a running motor with good pistons rings and ZERO carbon build up. It has the original high compression heads, flex plate flywheel and a V-6 starter. When I owned it originally I sent the gearcase to OMC to have it resealed. When I got it back they had installed this pointed nose cone rather than the blunt one it had before. It has about 10 hours run time on the case and the last P/H rebuild. I plan on polishing it back out and restore it and rig it on a suitable tunnel. One thing I thing I think might be unique about this engine is that it has a hydraulic lift built into the swivel bracket which has 1" of up and down travel.
Thanks for the pics!
It looks like the one piston comes all the way to the deck....Can you take a pic of one of the heads? If a zero deck KC, it probably has sand cast heads.
Looks like you have an updated KC13 with zero deck and the added up down swivel unit similar to the one the KRs had but the bulge in the casting and an add-on trim bracket. I have one of those early up-down swivels that I found on a KC.
