Continentals I have seen all have a forward motor mount cast into the bottom front end. This one does not seem to have that.

bingo!

MAYBE it is some sort of engine mount .... ?

I'm thinking of maybe a fork lift. Or possibly a pusher engine for a sail boat. I've seen a lot of engines in a lot of industrial and agriculture applications, but never one that I can remember had a motor mount on the head. Some have had a raised fan because of a very large radiator. Interesting indeed. Dandy Dave!
