Looks like they were minimizing the tube that was (is?) used in small block mods to bypass oil into the left galley in order to slow down the oil flow through the system and/or prioritize oiling to #1 main. Even though the big block system is plumbed differently. That was some 70s and 80s tech that I never got on board with. There are other, better ways to fix these.
If you're going to run a mechanical cam, the left galley should be made dry as it does nothing but oil the lifters. Bushing the lifter bores is almost a necessity for high RPMs and a good idea for everything else to control those 16 massive internal oil leaks.
If the results don't match the theory, change the theory.

Maybe they thought they needed to feed more oil to the lifters to keep the cam from going flat?

Not sure why you would want to do that. Most of us block it off so no oil gets there. But we run flat tappet cam. no reason to have oil there. More oil goes down to the mails and rods. Only reason to oil the lifters from the galleys, as opposed to bushing the bores, is if you are using hydraulics or oiling the heads through the pushrods. Can still be bushed and drilled instead of having those huge oil leaks.

I think they did it to get oil down to the mains quicker, on a stock motor the oil goes down the pass side crosses over in the back then runs all the way to the front on the dr side when it dead ends then the oil can be forced down to the mains, by filling the dr side with that tube as soon as the motor is started you don't have to wait for the oil to run it's normal course before feeding the mains. makes sense? The only thing fed from the left side on a BB is lifters. The theory is oil is rushing through the right side so quickly, as it has to feed the mains AND the left side from the end of the right galley, that the oil can't make the sharp turn to the main feed passages. My theory is, plug or drastically reduce all the dang leaks so the oil isn't rushing through the system, squirting out all over the place, and can keep the crank full and under pressure. High RPMs is where the issues show up.

I don’t see any benefit to stealing oil from the main feed from the pump, before it even gets into the main gallery.......and sending it to the pass side lifter gallery.
I’m not seeing it benefiting any of the bearings.
More oil to the drivers side lifters....... for whatever that might be worth.
Maybe in some race application that required running hyd lifters, where they felt the oil supply to the drivers side was compromised and caused lifter bleed down issues at high rpm. Like NHRA Stock eliminator before the Schubeks came on the scene. Nowadays you can just run solids.

However, the only thing being lubed from that galley is the lifters. 8 large leaks spraying oil that could be better used on the crank. Putting oil in at the end of the system there basically fills the galleries from both ends. Intended to stop the oil from flowing through and ensuring the entire system is consistently full and pressurized. Again, solid lifters or not oiling the top end through the pushrods, or oiling the heads externally, plug the left galley and make it dry, eliminating the problem. Using an internal auxiliary hose/tube can be beneficial, if the left galley is plugged and the oil is plumbed into the rear of the right galley, filling it equally from both ends.

The mod sends it to the drivers side gallery. Right...... typo on my part. Oil is diverted into the drivers side gallery from the main feed out of the pump.

i would just plug it, looks like it would be a big oil pressure loss, he may have had cam issues?
all parts are sold as is, all parts are considered used no warranties or returns paypal/check/money order, shipping is from zip 02891, buyer pays paypal fees 24% IRS 1099A plus 3% of part price, check/money order preferred site is not monitored 24/7 there might be a delay in response
