Unknown transformer

Found two of these when going through old stuff. They are probably 10-15 years old and I have no clue whatever, what they are. R is ca 150ohms each side. Core is 91mm high, 80mm wide and thickness is 33mm. I have not unpacked my test equipment since we moved to another town a few months ago. Measuring inductance could have helped. It might be Electra-Print, as I bought some stuff from there, but I am not sure. Anyone who recognizes it wrt to building style, cables etc? Could be a large 1:1 interstage?

Yes, it looks similar to the Electra Print single ended interstage transformers that I used to have.
But it appears to have Interleaved E's and I's, no DC allowed.
So perhaps an interstage that only allows AC signal. An interstage for a high power parafeed driver tube stage, perhaps?

No, Each side has I's and each side has E's. I's on both sides, the interleave is not a reNo air gap, no DC.

Single ended has all the I's on one side, and all the E's on the other. A single air gap, and no interleaved E with I.

I owned both push pull and single ended interstages from Electro Print Audio
 
Agree, looked more carefully and I´s are on the long sides. Then it is still a mystery what kind of work it is supposed to do? Took a look inside, but no markings or clues. PP anode choke? If so, how much imbalance could one expect it to accept?
