Help identifying this tow bar set-up

I got this tow bar set up off craigslist. I can not find any information on it and hoping folks here will recognize it. Looks like a Blue Ox based on the locking arm mechanism. However, the way the arms bolt to the hitch and the whole stowing system, I do not know for sure. The arms also have a different method for attaching the ends of the arms. The Blue Ox welds on a double tang. This has a threaded arm with a locking nut. Here are photos with captions;

Here is an overall image;

Close-up of how the tow bar attaches at the passenger side. It lifts and drops into place;


Close-up of the arm assembly where there is a bolt set up instead of a weld on current model Blue Ox.


Another view of how tow bar attaches to the stowing device. At the top is a couple tabs that had a lock through it to keep the bar from coming off. The lock was exactly like those sold by Blue Ox.


This image shows the driver side attachment point. Notice it's a 'L' shape that slips behind a large vertical weld pin.


Sure hope someone can shed some light on what I got.
Thanks!!

I would just be very careful that that every part of that old tow bar is in working condition before you hitch a toad to it. :W

so as to have the life that is waiting for us.

looks like an old A-Frame setup with a ball hitch on the MH side.
