'69 Marauder

Received this note from a fellow wondering about the seat on his '69 Marauder. Anyone have any ideas?

 I recently purchased a 1969 CCM Marauder 3 speed and it seems to have a strange seat on it.
I got the bike from a guy who bought it from the original owner and it is all original so there is no chance that the seat was swapped. 
I call it the Croc seat because it is longer and narrower than the original seat and it has a turned up snout.
There are many differences including the color of the seat pan. The Croc seat pan is back and not gray like the regular seats.

IIRC, for a period in the late 1960's, the single and 3 speed Marauders used different seats. The "croc" seat came on the 3 speed. The other seat came on the single speed. I'll check my archives to-night to make sure the memory isn't playing tricks on me.

Yes, it's definitely an OEM seat for a 3 speed CCM Mustang Marauder. The first piece of literature I grabbed shows it clearly. The single speed version is shown with the "regular" seat.
