Could it be a Barnes?

Great question, there are certainly some similarities in the headstock shape .......
My old Barnes 4-1/2" had a double lead-screw, that was one thing that separated it from other similar ones. It used one leadscrew for left-to-right carriage travel and the other for right-to-left carriage travel.

Here's one Barnes machine: http://www.lathes.co.uk/barnes/index.html
..and the double -lead-screw one: http://www.lathes.co.uk/barnes/page2.html and here: http://www.lathes.co.uk/barnes/page3.html

Nothing identical, but that doesn't mean it's not a Barnes.......
