The picture is of a 1962-1964 Studebaker 259/289 2bbl engine. I’ve seen plenty of these engines in my lifetime. It sticks out like a sore thumb when I see it.
Especially when... well...
Umm...
It’s in a 1961 Unibody F-100. That’s a first for me.

later part of 20th century LS swap equivalent?

Easy...back in the late 60s, someone had a wrecked Studebaker and a Ford F100 with a blown engine.
I had a Series 3 Land Rover ute quite some time ago. The original owner had it as a farm ute. He killed the 4 cylinder engine and his solution was a six from a Rover P6 that died rusty. It fit but it wasn't the best choice given the gearing...

I, too, have a question: Why are there two things that look just like the brake master cylinder in my truck?

If the one on the right looked added on, I’d have assumed the Stude required conversion to a hydraulic clutch. But - it’s the one on the left that looks added on. Then again, the fender design precludes a Z-bar over under the clutch pedal, so there may be a transfer bar under the dash which has been connected to the one on the left to operate the clutch... or that’s what I’d assume if there didn’t appear to be a brake light switch.
This may just be a weird Ford setup for hydraulic clutch that moves parts around from standard.

I think the one on the right must be a hydraulic clutch master . The one on the left in the above pic (with the brake light switch) has the same firewall bolt pattern as the stock brake mc on mine. I didn’t think a clutch master cylinder would be up there, but I suppose that makes sense.

Fun fact: the Revell “Visible V8" model kit is a simplified representation of that Studebaker V8.
well, it may not be that “fun,” but it is a fact.
