You're right, it does look very much like a modified extension tube. I hope
this isn't a hoax; after all it is a forum for digital photography....If
so, sorry!
If you compare the picture with an auto 7 tube, the lug on the underside
(the side which mounts on the camera) of the pictured adapter is in a
different position from the corresponding lug of the auto tube. This would
be consistent with a cross-system adapter which requires two different
mounts.....or with very clever image manipulation.
If it's for real, I'm sure we'll get notification from alternative sources.
Cheers,
Duncan.

Well,
if this is not a photoshopped extension tube 7, it looks like Olympys
recycled this part from it...
but there is no evidence of diaphragm coupling, probably none.
A hope could be it is called adapter MA1, can always be a super lens focal
lenght transforming looking in the past + autofocus adapter MA2?
