Its a removable block gap bed - probably why it has "wrong hand" carriage
FF - any lettering on doors on the cabinet legs?
No I can't find anything. The diagrams on the lathe is German writing. ( Laitspindel steigung, Hebel stellung, Vorschübe beim I angdrehen = 1/10 der Gewindesteigungen )
I have tried searching through the forum and I have seen the sites you referred to, but I cannot find anything similar to my lathe. Oscar Ehrlich lathes have some parts that are similar to the parts on my latheYou could try these pages to see if you get a match
Oscar Ehrlich Lathes
Fischer Lathes
I it has been a while since I looked at them .
Also try a Forum Search of this forum for Erlich and Fischer
There are some other threads on them that may show some other similar models or leads to other makers.

One feature that implies a British mfg is that the carriage handwheel is to the right on the apron. American manufacturers favored left so you can look more manly with all the hot chip scars on your left hand, I presume.
