Default Is this French or German?

I had a customer bring this bass into my shop today and I told her that I would post pictures here and see if someone could help I D it. She purchased it from a thrift store for $10 dollars and had no idea what she had. It seems to have a number of French features like no exterior linings for instance. It dose have 4 back brasses but the sound post brace is narrower than I have seen. It is a full size monster string length being 43.5" or so. The top is edged with maple which looks original to the bass but its hard to tell. I'm sorry about the picture orientation on this post but I can't get them to stand up right.

Dimension
string length 43.5"
fstop 25"
back length 45 3/4"
rib depth at end block 9"
rib depth at back bend 9"
rib depth at neck 7 1/8"
