Unmarked Oval Roaster

Picked this up over the weekend and I'm not having any luck on ID'ing it. Lid looks like a Lodge with the dimples but the handles don't match. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Depth is 4 1/4" and inside width is 8 7/8".

For it to be a Lodge, I would expect a molder's mark on the underside of the lid and for the basting elements to be in a more uniform arrangement. The OVAL ROASTER and its position are like that of a more fully marked Griswold lid. The oven handles are also similar to a Griswold with a lid with that marking. All things considered, it's probably something an unknown foundry made using a modified Griswold lid and roaster to make their pattern.
 
I figured as much. I’m totally new to collecting but I couldn’t pass it up for the price. It will soon hit the etank and be seasoned. I think it’ll still make a nice piece.

Thanks for your reply.
