I recently purchased a 'lot' of planes which contained this mystery hardware.

I have never seen this lateral adjuster. It looks similar to an Oliver Hayworth patented adjuster similar to this one documented by Patrick Leach:

Similar... But not quite.

Here is the No.5 base that this frog was on:

The No.5 base is just under 13-1/2".

Any ideas, insights...

The frog is possibly the Upson Nut Co. Not sure if the base is also. Not uncommon to find planes with mixed parts. Upson Nut planes are not common, but also not very sought after. I have had a couple, but they are long gone.
