Thanks. It's a custom bag I had made for this bike. My estimate puts it at 5.5 liter (1.45 gal) The bottom triangle has a zipper to compartmentalize a spare inner tube and some other small stuff. The little bump on the top rear of the bag is for some extra space so I can put tent poles inside a couple of loops and makes it easier to stuff the rest of the tent elsewhere. This side just has a small map pocket over the entire length. The main compartment is accessible from the other side.

You're right about it being for a bottom bracket generator. I removed mine since it was broken.
