That is the 'old style' intermediat feeder house.That was the first 'quik tach' feeder house.Would only work on certain grain platforms
 
When JD introduced the SB series they made the feeder house part of the combine instead of the header and made the grain headers interchangeable between the 55, 95, and 105. 95s and more so 55s will have the plate on each side of the feeder house to fit in throat of the header.
 
Sort of.... All 5 series combines left the factory with no feederhouse. The intermediate feederhouse was offered later so that the 5 series combines could use the newer headers for the new 00 series combines.

The unit in the craigslist ad is not a Deere intermediate feederhouse. It looks like someone made their old header into a quick attach with some cutting and pasting.
 
Here is a pic of the header/feederhouse I was talking about.....It is not the 'new style' you guys are confused about,and will not interchange/accept the newer heads.Only the correct grain head. In my case,a 16' foot.The new style is also pictured.I have the new style to use a 443 cornhead.

Delta, I've never seen one like in the first two photos. I'm guessing it isn't a Deere part...At least Ive never seen it in the parts catalog.
 
I think Deere did that to save themselves from having to build and stock separate grain platforms to fit every model of combine they had. For example, a 13' header could be used on a 45, 55, 95 or 105 combine. So instead of having to build 4 different grain platforms with the correct width feederhouse to fit the combine it was to go on, they went to this system where they could build all the 13' platforms alike, then attach it to the feederhouse that was the correct width for the combine. I'm guessing soon after they came up with this, a light bulb went off and they said "Hey, we should do this with the corn heads too!"
 
They are Deere parts. That is the standard JD feederhouse that came with combine equipped with a grain header from the intro of the SB series until the intro of the 00 series. I have a 69' 55 Corn special, 1966 95, and 1967 95 and all three have that feederhouse in Delta's first two pics. And what I mean by interchangeability is you can take a 13ft header off the 55 and put it on a 95 or 105. You can take a 19ft header off a 95 and put it on a 105. And I'm referring to the new headers that came out the same time as the SB series. You can do all that without removing the feederhouse because JD made the front of the 55, 95, and 105 the same width. Now from what I understand if you put an old style corn header (pre 40 series) on any of those combines then the feederhouse did come off because the corn header/feederhouse used two augers instead of a chain to feed the cylinder.
And I'm not buying the 5 series came without a feederhouse from the factory. Maybe in the corn belt I can see them leaving without a feederhouse because you didn't know which header it was going to have since a corn header and grain header take a different feederhouse. But in wheat country they hit the dealer lots with a feederhouse because all we needed was the grain header/feederhouse.
 
The feeder house that I just sold off the 45EB would take a 244 or 343 corn head and a 10 or 12 foot grain table.
 
Sounds like you had the "intermediate feederhouse" which is what Delta has in his last three pics. That feederhouse came out after the intro of the 00 series combines and 40 series corn headers in the fall of 1969. That feederhouse was for farmers wanting to run a 40 series corn header on their 45/55/95/105.
