If you follow the sequence of photos it documents some type of attempt at a restoration.
They did did more harm than good, it was better off before they touched it. Too bad.
They cleaned it the wrong way and added too many to heavy cleats where more modern restoration practices would have been better. It is an eyesore, to undo the damage the "repairer" did will be difficult.
Main thing wrong is they enhanced the buckling of the top at the crack junctures the with the type of cleats they used. That top could have been made perfectly flat! And they over cleaned it in my opinion, basically skinning the history off the instrument. An insensitive restoration.
