Aren't cello tuners normally at right angles to the pegbox and friction type, where these are in line with the pegbox and appear to be gear type. The body shape is far more bass than cello. Half or quarter size bass I'd say. Age or origin? No idea.

Correct re. cello tuners. Probably a small student double bass, as you say, and of Eastern European origin. Before the Far East began mass producing stringed instruments, plywood Eastern European instruments were pretty much the default economical student instruments.
