I have played with tow bars on sedan, ute and van, and not seen one like that. I wonder if it is an adaptation from another model.

I suspect it is a towbar to suit FE through EK. I bought the towbar off Ed Ho many years ago. He had it running on his FE wagon before lopping the roof off it.
The FE-EK towbars are identical. They are split between sedan (M35573), wagon (M35575) and van/ute (M35571).
The design (with the unusual end plate welds) is as per the Hayman advert earlier in the thread. That one has the auxilliary brackets though where mine does not. Hayman became Hayman Reese in the 70's.
Cheers,

Holy crap Harv, that could have ended VERY badly 
I started with nothing and still have most of it left.
