Looks basically similar yet different... what is that off?

It looks like the axle ends have been welded on to the 'H' section?

Ha Ha,
Some one is trying to up the price !!
Its a Very Rusty Big Seven front axle. It could possible be from a ford though, the brake actuator looks non Austin. ( Note the Girling Brakes ) not early at all.

A few folks have used them on Sevens the king pins are 5/8" and the track rod goes in front of the axle.

Is it not a big 7 axle then?

Ah... simultaneously responding... rhetorical question!

I believe it to be a standard big seven axle.  Another one is for sale on Ebay

Big Seven all day long!
Good for non vintage specials/racers. Wider track, stronger, bigger king pins.
The forward track control arms can be reversed to face backwards if new keyways are machined into them.
