Is the window cutout parallel to the bottom edge of the glass, or as an obviously offset angle? A couple of pictures of the front end would also be helpful.

As JJ suggested, a "camera on the floor, straight side view" would be helpful.

Possibly interested in purchasing said canopy.

Believe all of Vans stuff is side by side seating. It does kinda look like it may fit some of Burt Rutan’s designs, Early
VariEase, maybe? It could work on many sailplanes if the curve is correct. Most sailplane cockpits are about 24” wide, sides can be pulled in (or out) a bit, if necessary, but the side view curve must match.
