OLD Denfeld passenger solo, but which one... ?

It appears to be a rear pillion passenger seat with the handle. But I'm thinking it's not for a BMW. I'm sure Denfeld made seats for multiple manufacturers. For BMW, I've only seen two types of mounts...one that has a curved base which actually fits onto the fender; the other would have a flatter underside with 3-4 fasteners around the edges to mount to a fender rack. This Denfeld almost seems like it fits onto a square channel or something. Maybe for Dnepr or Ural...possibly a Chang Jiang? I've not been around many R75s from WWII...maybe it fits onto one of those?

I can't understand German but here's what I think based on seeing old stuff like this before. The seat is definitely pre-war. If you will notice, the side mounting bolts have a sort of "C" shaped piece that moves in and out horizontally on the threaded bolts. Now picture a mid 30s bike with a tubular rack over the back fender. So my guess is that you place the seat over the rack and tighten the bolts so that the "C" sections move outward and come in contact with the inner side of the tubular rack and thus, lock the seat in place.
Of course, I have been wrong before!
