Wood Type Identification help

Having a time trying to identify this face, very small 36ish pt wood type. Some of it almost seems hand-tooled. Any thoughts ?

Apologies having trouble uploading an image to BP, here’s a link: https://imgur.com/kVW5gxT . I believe it was originally bought from India it that helps.

Does this stuff (I’m presuming it’s out of India) even HAVE a name, apart from awful?

Could be from Diamond Wooden Type Works. Some of this type, and specimens, were being sold on eBay a few months ago. We got some Devangari and a catalog for Letterform Archive’s collection. I’ll check the book next I’m there. Some excerpts: https://www.flickr.com/photos/letterformarchive/albums/72157716934333631
