Thanks - I'm sure it's not a "genuine" Orion or SkyWatcher EQ1 or EQ2, but I thought it might be a "clone" of one or the other, in terms of dimensions, gear ratios, etc.

However, the more I look a close-up photos of genuine Orion / SkyWatcher mounts, I'm not so sure now. On the genuine Orion / SkyWatcher, the RA body always seems to be mounted above / offset from the main altitude pivot pin. On my mount, the axis of the RA body points right at the altitude pivot pin, rather than being offset.

Oh well ...
