Tom Martin (in person recently) and at least one other in the last few decades. It has always been known as a Lockey Hill and Tom recently saw the Bass and without a hint he claimed it to be as well.

Do you have another Theory of it being something other than what the others have claimed? Remember, the English were the great copyists and even the Bass you posted as a Lockey can be as well but I suspect slightly a later date. The FFs of the two have similarities in the placement, curves and relation to the outer edges. The model though is completely different on the one posted on TalkBass.
