This is some of the more interesting keywork I have seen!

Ah, yes - very interesting. Do we get to guess? Something subcontracted by P.T. Barnum?

All the sections of keywork are cast in one piece. Most woodwind keywork is assembled; rods, arms and pad cups are soldered together. This example has each key section cast in one piece which points to it being probably East German or Russian, but unusually boehm, and possibly made for military use. Interesting curio.

This is East German Uebel student level clarinet from the 70's. Bohem system with differently shaped keys. Professional Uebel clarinets are pretty good but this particular model I would classify as cheap crap.

I tried one just like it about a year ago at Rod Baltimore's shop in New York. A very interesting look, but, as Vytas says, a real dog of an instrument.
Best regards.
