Is "may have used to" a standard form?
e.g.
"Well, he may have used to live in Africa, but it doesn't naturally follow that he understands African ways."

No, only the past tense is possible:
He used to live in Africa.
I didn't use to like him. (Some usage guides also accept: I didn't used to like him.)

Someone can answer:
Well he may have done that, but it doesn't naturally folow that...
Why can't one replace "done that" with "used to"?
