Seems like a clever design to me and I always thought that the chain ran backwards, if so this would work better.
I found one exactly like that in my kelvinator avanti engine. I thought it was just a clever bodge but it's exactly the same as yours.
Found one like this last year lol

this tensioner look like a massey ferguson 23c timing chain adjuster,when the chain wears the piston/pawl pushes out further,it is made in india,good idea but when the chain wears to excess the plunger will fall out possible locking the clutch crownwheel not good!
