Looks like a swirl pot, or pressure regulator. Or could be a spill return from the IP.
Is there a return to the tank?

Gosh- i will have a look for some cables... the wiring was such a mess- 90% has been stripped out and there may be something like that.
Very similar system to early Transits.
On really cold days when Diesel would 'jellyfi' the fitter would soak a rag in diesel and use a welding rod to stuff it down the intake whilst we turned it over. And I should mention he set light to it ! Not just a wet rag

Feeds the cold start aid screwed into the inlet tract. Get it going, I have had several, on Perkins engined tractors and Land Rovers.
Better than glow plugs, and don't put so much load on the battery in cold weather.

Good party trick, but they hand start OK as well. Or you can spin them over using a drive belt driven by another tractor, many from that era had drums to drive a belt.
