What is this strap/bar on Aussie K-member?

I don't have a really good picture of it here at work, but the alternator mounts on the RH side of the motor, right above the fuel pump. It's hard to see here, but the alternator is the grey thing that is "kinda-sorta" visible to the left of the radiator (as you're looking at it). Or, follow the belts from the A/C compressor down and to the left....

And, yes. This is a manual steer car, with the box mounted to the frame rail.

I just remembered I have this; a (cropped) picture of the engine as it was going in this weekend. Alternator isn't installed, but the mounts are there.
