I can't cast any light on the make / model - but regarding the seatpost system, it may not necessarily have used an expanding post because if you look at this image:-

It shows what appears to be a threaded boss below the rear of the seat cluster.

This is similar to the post rentention system used on a Vitus 'cross frame I have where a bolt / grub screw clamps the post in place. Not an arrangement I've ever thought was very mechanically sound to be honest, and even that uses an humoungous grub screw in a very chunky seatlug. This looks more like a single bottle cage boss.

Incidentally, apologies for not signing off correctly on my last post about Viscount Death Forks....
