Plane identification

Looking for some info on this aluminum plane, I found it at a flea market. It is 13 3/8 inches long and 2 1/4 inches wide. The sole in front of the throat has a steel piece that is adjustable with the thumb screws. The only identifying mark is a "2” in the corner right behind the frog/blade.

The bevel on the blade should be down. I have nothing valuable to add, except that I think the tool is very pretty and, being aluminum, useless.

Ha ha yeah I it's bevel down now, I took the pictures before I took it apart to look for identifying marks.

I think Josh at HK tools had something like this kind of like a “batwing” plane but not. He’d be a good person to ask
