Here are some more underimpressive photos - nice foliage though!
I don't think they shead more light on it, but someone may have eagle eyes.
The extra plate in front is obviously a repair - of which I believe there are several!

Hmm... Knob on front standard. Recessed lock knobs on bed extension. Metal reinforcements look original to camera. Nothing that speaks "Century or Ansco". G

It finally arrived - with no new damage!
It must be a Century - apart from some variation in the timbers used, the woodwork is identical to the Century I have.
The reinforcements don't reinforce! It must be a marketing addition from Kodak or Folmer to increase acceptibility in the European market that was used to metal monsters (which work exceptional well).
All control knobs are metal. The front rise works through a concealed system which was obviously there from the start - again, the usual system on Görlitz type cameras.
The back (which surfaced after the original posting!) is a long sliding carriage with place for the ground glass holder and a frame for mounting 18x24cm holders.
The narrow pleat leather bellows are an obvious replacement for the original wide pleat ones from Century as the mat black paint shows the original outline.
