Looks like the sump produced by James Whiting for the Caterham7

Yep I bought one in 1992 for the X/flow in my Morgan.

Someone wanted one like it a year or two ago so I emailed them,

They lost the tooling when the firm casting them went bust.

They wished that had made a lot more.

I have always thought the sump is a part ripe to be made in alloy for the Lotus, given the cost and scarcity of the front bowl sump.
