It is one of my 6 bow kits. He supplied his own wood.

Take a close look at the four "feet." They appear to be just square/flat stock steel- that sit flat on one plane and are parallel to each other. I'd insist on seeing it neatly resting in a split bus rain gutter before calling it a split bus rack.
Also, is that a typical rust pattern on the joints? I don't know because I've never seen a bekowa rust like that- more like all or nothing around here.

Never seen them and they look super cool. I would love to see the lit with this option on it.

Those racks are fro two different models of trucks/vans/lorries. The first set has outboard clamps vs. the inboard (VW style) on the second more-used looking set. This should make the search easier. Maybe looking into other Euro brands of trucks from the era for clues will help.

Perfect fit.
Only some bigger rubber around the legs to give it some more clearance.
Is a t2 roof higher in the middle than a t1?

That looks really good up there! It would be a nice addition to a working class truck or bus (my DC comes to mind). T1 of course, since we have so few T2s to choose from!

I always have trouble translating the terminology, but I do know that a split bus roof has a slightly taller peak than a bay window bus. A bay bus rack will fit a split with just barely enough clearance.
If that rack barely clears a bay bus roof, it likely will not fit a split.
