The bridge looks like it has been recycled from a 4/4 . The carved bass bar is lined up with the f hole on the very edge and looks to diverge from the centre line of the bass. There is no evidence of any deflection on the top either laterally or longitudinally . I have marked up the position of the bass bar with a china graph pencil and indeed the sound post. The centre / centre of the bridge feet is 4 1/2 inches ( 115mm) whereas the centre of the bass bar - centre of sound post is 5 3/4 inches (145 mm) - a difference of over an inch ( 30mm).
