I came across this ad for a “red seal” battery

 

 

I was wondering why the guy on the ad had racing goggles on but now I see the batteries were marketed for ignition systems. Interesting.

I think you're right about the tunnel the one you pictured is the one I remember. Besides the missing "stairs" on the side it looks very close. Very unique looking. Those ad artists were known to take some creative liberties when illustrating and often worked off concept drawings or ideas before the item was actually in production. 

The motor looks spot on too except for the vent holes..even has the little lifting ring on top.
