It's not, it's the rare and hard to find (in the US) Brazilian t-3 alternator. These came on SP2's that were brought into the US, along with some of the carb conversion kits from back in the early to mid 80's. From what I understand, they used their own fan intake housing to mount it (it's a little taller at the pulley).

Is that a picture of the engine from the extremely overpriced "Empi" Notchback that is for sale?
