You should restore it, Matt.
With that lever system you could raise yourself up to grab a snack and then lower yourself back down, closer to the TV!
Seriously, however, do try sending the photos to the group who just reworked the Mosquito. Somebody there is sure to be able to ID it for you. Off the top of my weathered old head, the seat pan looks like one designed for the occupant to be wearing a fanny pac parachute, so the chute serves as the cushion.
Good luck with the mystery.
