What is this dovetail adapter for?

Hi,
I bought an Olympus BH2 head from Ebay, and it came with dovetail adapter attached, increasing dovetail diameter from about 42mm (standard for Olympus BH and CH heads) to 49mm.
Any ideas, what this adapter is for? Where else (besides Olympus BH/CH series) can you use this head with this adapter ring? I am just curious...
Thank you!

That is approximately Nikon dovetail diameter; perhaps someone used Olympus optics on a Nikon frame.
