It looks like it could have been a prototype.

I don't think it's even a prototype for a TR2. Some other engine, likely British, that happened to take a pair of SU carbs, but not a TR2.
The stud holes are in the wrong place, and the inlet tubes look too small to me. And even pre-production photos show a different shape to the collector box under the carb.

The photos bear SOME resemblance to the sketch in the TR2 Spare Parts Catalogue, but even going just by the sketch there do appear to be some detail differences. But where it bolts to the head, it does look as if it would fit a Vanguard-based engine; on the other side it does look as if it would take a part of H4 carburetors. So maybe it could be for a Morgan, or possibly an aftermarket performance upgrade for a Vanguard?
It does NOT look like the manifold for even a Vanguard Sportsman, that rare car (maybe 900 or so made) with the "almost-TR3" dual-carb engine....
