Yes.

I'm beginning to think it's a home-built.

It's very unusual in that for directional stability it utilises conventional fins instead of placing them at the tips of a swept-back wing.

No, I don't think so, but it does look like a part of the Rhine.

I really have no idea on that LM....but if you're "fishing" (excuse the pun) the Rhine does pass through more than one country!
