For me it looks like someone used a Jalpa box and prepared it for a P300.
I guess you may have your answer on your airbox Raymond. My air boxes came from Lamborghini (ordered through Lambostuff, thanks again Jalpa_Mike), very dirty and with the Original Parts Decals. They were ordered using the Jalpa part number. They are made of fiberglass so you won't see the quality of steel unfortunatly.

So what is the tube used for?

Maybe this winter I'll have my machine department make some air boxes out of billet aluminium.
Here's the pictures of the air boxes. After thinking about it all weekend I'm wondering if that tube isn't supposed to be tied into the charcoal filter? I don't think you guy's outside the U.S. have charcoal filters. We use them to trap fuel vapor.
