Is this standard equipment?

Did some service on my 2004 R1150RT that I picked up a month or so ago. I was pleasantly surprised at the care the shop took of it before selling it to me but I found this toolkit under the seat. I don't think this is standard issue. It did have metric tools at least.

It appears to be a mix of standard issue and owner supplied. The T-handle are not standard issue. The vinyl case doesn't appear to be standard either.
 
I figured the original owner chose this tool bag for it's longevity. HD riders have to be pulling them out constantly, as I understand.
 
Those feeler gauges with the white and yellow handles are for setting valve lash. Should be 2 of each - non-standard for the tool kit, but keep them.

My tool roll is a jumble of tools that came with an '82 R100 and my current R1100, plus a couple of things I have added over the years. I just went through and thinned it out in preparation for an upcoming trip, and couldn't remember (if I ever knew) the purpose of the angled, "tire-iron"-shaped wrench (showing in the OP's pic) that wouldn't be performed just as well with a more normal wrench of the same size.

Does anyone know?

In this case it is a lug wrench to remove the wheel. Only the monoshock airheads had them (85 on). The earlier Airheads had a removable axel.

Don't forget the R80G/S which was mono shock from 1981. It has an angled lug wrench in the OEM tool kit for the lug nuts.
