Hand Tools Only - Restoring a woodworking bench - Part 2

I recently acquired this fine little woodworking bench from facebook marketplace and intend to do a mild restoration to tidy it up and make it useable. In this one I make an interesting find regarding the history of the bench, and part way through the restoration I need to determine what sort of wood the uppers are made from so I'd appreciate your opinions in the comments!
