Question well

Notice the angled Flat Back. That is not a French trait from what I have seen! The head varnish and the back varnish are completely different. The open peg box is also weak like that. Maybe, Bernardel did the head for him. Looking at that head, could it have been craved out of a regular scroll? Or is this a replaced neck graft with scroll grafted on for that bass with the head carved?

Could this be an English Bass?
