Unique tank vent?

Has anyone seen a vent/EEC valve like this? This came off the steel mid tank of a 79 supercab 2wd. It uses a 2-7/8" hole like the sender but is on top. I assume its function is similar to the typical EEC valve that uses a grommet. I know the Supercabs had some unique parts but of the 2 mid tanks I've had, this is new to me.
