The old red Precision feed with the recessed central scalar was used on a Precision dish for satellite reception. It was part of a setup that used a KHM-36RL motor and a Ku band LNB. The KHM-36RL motor had the strange declination adjustment that used a pipe fitted at a non vertical angle to a circular steel plate. Rotation of the plate adjusted the declination angle, pics attached.

Rotational declination adjustment has been used for years on larger dishes, Orbitron and I think KTI made use of it on their range of 8 -12 foot antennas.
Putting antennas together as a system with the H-H mounts for satellite use does not exclude them from originally being sourced in a job lot, from a company that had surplus to their original design role.
