I have one and A: that's a hair too small for it I think, and B: unless it is a very early one, mine just has two metal clips top and bottom to hold the ground glass, and a single spring per side, not the two per side like this one. It probably does go to a studio camera though, from the brass pins at the corners. That seems to be a common way to attach the back.
