Aftermarket/DIY.
And I think I might have a similar one.
However, mine has the inlet on the bottom and a plain top.

Originals usually show up on eBay.

It was in my car for about 30 years (see pic), I bought it at an auto-parts store (can't remember which) for about $5. Generic puke can. Blue paint was from a rattle can.

Replaced it last year with a polished stainless steel one from an eBay seller. Summit, JEGS and just about everybody else has usable ones.

Thank you, asking this, because I'm from Cyprus and whenever I order anything from us I pay +$60 for delivery + 20%VAT, so original coolant tank cost over $140 for me. *crying*

Ouch.

Since it wasn't a factory piece, you might be better off just seeing what's available locally. OR, just for function, you could easily fabricate something.
