It should be a Donzelague.
I've a photo of the baseboard that shows three rows of threnails running 
from spine to bentside in the opposite direction comparing to any other 
harpsichord.
The lower braces from spine to bentside are angled toward the front of 
the instrument, not in direction of the tail, and this is the typical 
disposition we found in all surviving Donzelagues.
