Standard strut brace??

[DONKEYT5]

Hi all! well finally got my V70 P2 now, and she is running beautifully, but i have noticed somethin under the bonnet that baffles me! There is what seems to be a strut brace, but it definatley isnt an aftermarket style one, its black, and seems to be joined to the upper engine mount somehow?!
Bearing in mind this car is ex-plod, i was wondering whether this car had them as standard or is it police issue?
Cheers in advance, Don

ps, Its bloody good to be back here, and I got that volvo 'buzz' again!
