Probably isn't but you might search under the name Homer A. Barkus. I have seen some drawings for some watchmakers lathe tools & tail-stocks he sold in the 40's & 50's. The drawings have some similar characteristics.

My Wolf Jahn lathe has a "D" shaped bed. It might be for that or check Lorch too.
