They made low-D basses, with no thumb keys. I happen to buy one which I thought was a low C but didn't look carefully enough on the pictures. No disaster, got it cheap.

The instrument in question is clearly a low C. Just count the tone holes on the 2nd picture. The D3 venting hole is on the rear side, the C#3 venting hole is on the bell and the bell vents the C3.
