It looks like there may have been castings set into the rough areas. They’re gone now, and with them, the details that could have identified whose stone it was.

Yes, I’ve seen the slab in person. It originally had cast bronze pieces fit into the stone, one a figure of a knight, and in the top right corner, the coat of arms. All probably stolen and melted down, possibly used to make ammunition during the wars.
