I happened upon this Revell News page scan, and while the tone of the writer is very tongue in cheek, it states the scoop was made by Cragar:

I just google-imaged Cragar hood scoop. Got hundreds of pictures of Cragar wheels, dozens of pics of hood scoops of every kind, not one of which claimed to be a Cragar hood scoop.

I"d say the writer was mistaken and it is a Cal Custom scoop. 

It wouldn't be the only mistake in the article, he also says the kit will be $2.00! ?

If someone wants to do the leg work and verification, then post back here when finished, I'd be interested in reading the results. I'm sure there are others, and maybe even a vintage speed parts catalog floating around somewhere.
