You know, Susan. Looking at that picture........ Maybe, just maybe, that 
leg has a dovetail socket that has the extension out to where it is screwed 
in to what looks like a tee-nut inserted in the bottom of the keybed. Ya 
never know. Perhaps, if it like that, it is as secure as you could want. 
Other makers did that, and perhaps this is an oddball or prototype or 
knock-off or post-production mod for some reason or another. It doesn't 
really look like a regular dovetail with a wing-bolt used as a wedge or cam.
It could have been an...... upgrade.

Pascal, all you need is a wing bolt that fits the tee-nut, with an extra 
nut to use as a depth-stop.
