Not a gearbox, not a shaft drive bike. Think old and Italian.

Well, it is gears in a box and 2 spiral gears do drive something at a right angle.
Now to figure out what it is.
Could be from a screw jack or mechanical lift of some type.

You were on track with a motorcycle, but it's not a gearbox or drive shaft. Like I said, think old and Italian.

Steering stem gears.
(Gear box: any gears in a box. It does not mean a transmission or gear selector thingy - just gears in a box. Could include a differential or a gear box on the end of a motor on a pinsetter to change the direction of force 90* - like a worm gear on a spur gear - or so the motor can drive a shaft going in both directions)

Possibly on one of these for pedals or steering:

Yup. Bevel gear Ducati. That is the camshaft and the rod that drives it off the crank. Setting timing on these is not fun at all.

Chassis alignment tool?

I've seen one being used before. Buggered if I know what they were doing with it, wasn't paying attention at the time. Arrrggghhhh....

gsatter getting really close,....alignment is spot on but not for the chassis

Wheel alignment clamp.

Damn, I shoulda taken scale into consideration haha.

If its not wheel alignment, I'll say...uhh...transmission alignment?

I'd say MR got it.  Those red plastic thingys (technical term) hold on to the rim, lasers/reflectors attach in the center.

Mister for the win,.....wheel alignment adapters
