Can't help you on the ID, but insofar as the CG is concerned, you can:

1 - Guess

2 - Take the sage advice of someone that "...has a friend that has a friend that has one sorta like it,andhe has the CG three fingers behind the LE...." etc, etc.

3 - Actually get it close by downloading Curtis Suter's Sailplane Calc Cruciform Tail spreadsheet tool from this website - www.tailwindgliders.com/Files.html

I use two points to estimate the CG. on the Spar or about 1/3 back from the LE at the root. then you tune from there.
