Help identifying this JCW strut bar

So I bought this from some guy on FB marketplace, he wasn't sure what year it came off of but thought it was an '03 MCS. Went to install it today and it's clearly not an R53.... Any ideas what it's for? I'll be putting it up for sale once identified.

Thanks in advance!

Driver side

Passenger side

Overall showing wider than R53 shock towers

Thanks! When my wife's R58 gets home from my shop I'll check it out.
