ELR copy obviously , probably aftermarket I'd guess
pity there's no photos of the underside - stickers , hinge and locks would give a clue
or a maker's serial no.
I've seen similar on a z750L a year or so ago

Resin base would be gpz550. Have a similar one acquired with my gpz550 twinshock. Base often robbed for these from gt550's.
