Genuine Tamron mounts for EOS are indeed rare as hen teeth, but aftermarket
Adaptall - EOS adapters are available on the auction site. I have a couple,
they do the job. Look for seller roxsen.

I think you'll find that the Tamron-F series are NOT Adaptall mounts.
They are dedicated 7 element teleconverters made for a range of different
mounts and the listing should tell you which camera it suits. BBAR refers
to Tamron's unique multi-coating system.
Whatever you get you'll need a converter to the E-330. For Adaptalls,
probably the best is to get a 'Pentax screw' mount (M42) and an M42 to 4/3
adapter. That's the approach Canon users take as there is no EOS mount
easily available. One was made but they are super-rare. For Canon I use a
P/S mount and an M42 to EOS adapter.
