Pics of the sides and all angles of the Scroll shot straight on? That might help too.
Also, ask the shops over there like Tom Martin, Contrabass Shop and Thwaites. See what they think seeing the bass in person.
The deep carved edges look modern Italian to me but the lower bout ratio makes me think this was not an experienced professional bass maker. Some of the work looks nice but if the makers idea was to make a 1/2 and 1/2 bass with a normal upper and squatted lower, this is what you have.
Maybe it's even English!
