Siu, it really seems a Bay II lens hood for 2.8A,
however it does not look like an original Rolleilux,
the original Rolleilux has a dedicated lens hood with
the word "Rolleilux" with big letters on the same face
where the black lens hood in your site shows the F&H
logo; the lens hood in your site looks like a regular
lens hood -if BII then for 2.8A- without the word
"Rolleilux" and it seems without the special basis
that the dedicated BI lens hood has for the Rolleilux
meter body. It could be a special Rolleilux for the
2.8A but it is not original from factory, it seems
someone attached the Rolleilux meter body on a normal
lens hood.
The Rolleilux was developed on 1957 by Gossen and F&H
for the Rolleiflex 4x4 and Rolleicord in production by
that time after the first built-in lightmeter was
developed for the Rolleiflex 3.5C/E-2.8E; the 2.8A no
longer was in production of course.-

All the best
