It has a family resemblance to a Potts-type attachment, but is not that brand.

If you measure the hole pattern on the base, that would tell you if it fitted a Myford T-slot cross-slide.

I see an involute gearcutter attached. It seems to me you can mount it on any lathe, maybe with an interface attachment.
I agree that it is a gear cutting attachment, possibly for a Myford but not made by them. A number of years ago a similar attachment was described in Model Engineer. It was at the time when M E was in the small format so possibly late 50s.

I think this was made from castings sold by Woking so a long time ago. Would be nice to find the plans
