Has anyone seen these before?

Can anyone identify this?

Since my ‘73 complete restoration is near completion I am going around my ‘70 240Z to see what is the extent of the parts that I will need before starting the restoration process.

While checking the front suspension I came across the Front Torsion Tension Strut Rod. I did not recall seeing such cap/cover on a 240Z before. Anyone has an idea if it is OEM, aftermarket or simply not beloning to this car??...

Any insights will be much appreciated.

Thank you!

It's this kit I expect:

It's cheap and works. The stock compression rod setup isn't a great design.
