i don't know who makes it but i don't believe it is SSautochrome. those were all built with tubular thin wall cheap stainless. this one is preformed halves which is a much better design. i'm running the same manifold on my S4 now with the T70 turbo and no issues.
it also has brace tabs to give it more rigidity if you actually make braces/supports for it, which i have never seen on the SSautochrome units.
ideally i still prefer the HKS/Greddy cast iron log manifolds, i just wish they would make a divided version.

Obviously, I'm a turbo noob (relatively). I'm glad to see it may be a little better unit, but my other question is (maybe more general) is what types of turbos would fit? Because of the various bolt holes, will almost any single turbo fit?

It is either for an FC or an FD.
I just looked at the SS Autochrome(brand name) manifold and it doesn't have the wastegate flange like yours.(so it is not an SS Autochrome Manifold)

fits any 13B engine, just would require a Turbo lower intake manifold for whatever application.
there really isn't any rule of thumb for most aftermarket turbo manifolds. i have used manifolds stated for 13B-REWs on FCs and vice versa. it really depends on the turbo and it's positioning and compressor outlet aim. FCs have a bit more room to work with than the FDs do so there are many more styles for the FC engine bay.
