Have checked and the rod thingy isn't an air filter support. That is present, shorter and thicker.
that rod certainly looks like all the dershy ( 2CV ) air filter rear end supports i have come across,
and the Dyane with the same plastic type air filter box sits exactly the same way/place as the dershy,
you are aware the filter has the pressed tin arch shaped bracket at the forwared end, then also this rod going between the N/S rear under cornner end of the air box to a stud on top of the gear box?????
