Help identifying underpinner

[Trextr7monkey]

I recently acquired this machine and am looking for the correct v nails to use in it, the width of the chamber is 3/8”
Any advice welcome but it would be useful to identify the maker or similar machines if it’s a clone/ conversion. The standard of fabrication is very good, I wondered if it’s a home made copy of a design that someone may recognise!
Thanks

Fairly sure it's a a 'Pistorious' machine
Lion picture frame supplies might be able to help

Thanks I will contact them I couldn’t find anything on their website which was why I asked on here- it’s better than Google!!

There’s all sorts I think that’s the end of a Picador pup on a sewing machine base, I have a couple of little Wade lathes made of alloy as well as an everyday Chester lathe.
There’s also a couple of old sewing machines that might get turned into racing cars one winter’s night! Too many hobbies
