Strange dash radio opening!

A dash trivia question. This dash came with a recent purchase. I haven't seen an opening as narrow as this before. The dash has the original dark blue paint on the back and under the light blue on the front and has obviously not been cut. The dash has only one speaker grill so that makes it probably 1980 or earlier. Has anybody seen a radio that would fit this opening or know when this was offered?
 
Wow. I'd never seen this before either, but here's another one:

And another:

Looks to be a transition-era hold-over into at least '76 production:

I had a 76. I had to mount a stereo under the dash since one wouldn’t fit in the opening
