Asking for a friend... He somehow lost the one and only plate and would like to replace it...

Think maybe "your friend" could get the brand name off that head - that would offer a real big clue.

Easy, he would then need a No Name plate.

I am afraid a new head (A/S enabled) and/or tripod may be in order here 8-(

Possibly none. It looks like no head I've seen before. A mystery tripod. Time to replace. Tell him to buy another entire tripod used. Older all metal ones are often a bargain on eBay and other sources.

Looks unique. Since it’s a nameless product just junk it.

There were "quick release" mechanisms on "no-name" or unbranded tripods that are not standard or universal. Many were not very safe- that little turn-to-lock mechanism does not look very sturdy.
If the legs are sturdy and in good condition, perhaps removing that mechanism and drilling out the hole or drilling another hole elsewhere on the platform and simply use a 1/4 X 20 or 3/8 X 16 thumb or machine screw to secure a standard tilt, ball, or gimbal head on your tripod.
