Does anyone recognise this mounting

I bought a terrific Meade 16" Starfinder last year from a chap in Geelong with whom I have lost contact. I think the scope had been mounted on a seriously heavy-duty AltAz mount with a Bartelised set of electrics and motors by a previous owner. The design of the mount is unlike any I have seen and obviously occupied a lot of someone's time and imagination. I attach a few pictures of the mount 'before and after' I had done some modifications. I wonder if anyone can recognise the design or is willing to admit paternity.
