Anybody need a 570/570e CMOS battery holder?

Received two of these in a shipment of T2 series CMOS batteries (02K6572) and holders. The holders don't have any part numbers on them and I don't believe they fit in any system I currently have.

Found a list of TPs that use that Cr2032 battery:

IBM ThinkPad 560X
IBM Thinkpad 570
IBM ThinkPad A20 Series
IBM ThinkPad A20m, A20p Series
IBM ThinkPad A21 Series
IBM ThinkPad A21e Series
IBM ThinkPad A21m, A21p Series
IBM ThinkPad A22 Series
IBM ThinkPad A22e Series
IBM ThinkPad A22m, A22p Series
IBM ThinkPad A30 Series
IBM ThinkPad A30p Series
IBM ThinkPad A31 Series
IBM ThinkPad A31P Series
IBM ThinkPad T20 Series
IBM ThinkPad T21 Series
IBM ThinkPad T22 Series
IBM ThinkPad T23 Series
IBM ThinkPad T30 Series

The holder is NOT for a T23 or T30.

According to the picture on this site, it is for the 600 series...HOWEVER, the 600 series doesn't have a bracket like that.

EDIT: I just went through the HMMs and found this one on the 570/e. (see page 54)

And the holder does not go into any other T2x, A31x or A21x (?; have A21p and it's not used in there). Guess I'll dig up the 5xx HMMs and see if they show this battery holder. Thanks for the list!

edit: Thanks Steve!

Well, that solves the mystery.... Since the closest thing I have to a 570/e is a 560Z, which doesn't use this battery holder, and I have no plans to get a 570/e, does anybody need one or two of these? Cost of shipping and it's yours.

A little late to the "guess what this is" party but I can confirm that the holder is positively and correctly identified as being the 570/570E laptop's. If I hadn't recently replaced the Cr2032 CMOS battery on my 570 I may have overlooked this thread. It might be a good fleabay candidate since some recycler's are auctioning gutted shells?
