Default Mystery Lifting frame identity sought

Recently this landed in my hands.

It came about 8 years ago from out west (the promised land), Alberta to be precise.

It was in a mixed treasure trove of MV related parts that were mostly (99.9%) British MOD stuff. There have been a couple of notable exceptions.

It has been suggested that because of the wire rope terminations it might be Canadian.

A pair of slip joint pliers are in the photo for scale.

My initial thought was that it looked like a locally produced Ferret power pack lifting frame.

There are no markings what so ever on it at all.

Looks well made with a purpose in mind.

The M113 sling is similar but not the same.

It has been suggested that it may be for a Walker Bulldog pack.

I'm asking for anyone with one such device for some measurements if they have any.

Thanks

Gentlemen,

You are in your own unique ways dragging this thread to the depths of silliness like only you two can!

I expect nothing less from you both.
