I sent a message off to someone I know who was an engineer in Chrysler's air cleaner lab back then to see if he has an idea about it.
Cool, smart idea and neat connection. 
Disregarding this aircleaner, if Chrysler would ever make cast aluminum test air cleaners. Or what would they make them out of?

Another forum i posted this on thought maybe early nascar to maybe add some weight to the front?
Nascar rules "back in the day" did not alow any venting of hoods, or forced induction (ram-air) hood systems, systems stealing air from the cowl boundary layer were allowed however,...so I would say that cancels out the NASCAR theory
My theory is it may be a pre production peice/prototype for a vendor to have tooled off of for production of the actual stamping dies,....basically what one referes to as reverse engineering, the factory as well as it "skunk" work divisions made hundreds of prototype pcs and whole car mock ups for decades
