I don’t have a tripod, but there’s a photo of it on page 11, showing cross slides.
K&E originally was painted in a crinkled green paint, so yours is stripped for aesthetics. You could order an unpainted survey tripod (or strip one), stain and varnish the timber and polish the aluminum.
Seco make an adapter:
