What's this hitch fit?

Not sure if anyone recognizes this front blade hitch for a specific model / series, or if it's a home-made one off?  If it's a custom fabrication, it's going on the scrap iron pile.  If it fit's some rare setup and someone can use it, I want to make sure I don't scrap it and get it in their hands.  The one hooked up to the blade is a standard large frame hitch.  This "odd" one has a double tab on each side, is shorter and has a very different lift bracket angle.  Small frame maybe?

I have one like that. I believe it is from the early models like 700/ 725, but the extra mounting tabs are added. Mine doesn’t have those. They definitely don’t work on the later models.

Looks like a modified FDT hitch where the front was shortened up.  

I say that because it looks very similar to this bent hitch I acquired many years ago:

Well, it didn't get scrapped but ended up going with a guy for his small frame.  He might have to do some fabrication, but better than the scrap pile.
