If it was made by Glostrup, then you ought to be able to find at least one of these chairs with a Glostrup label. I mean Glostrup did label things. Stickers can and do come off, but not 100% of them.
And the designer's name is Kurt Olsen (with an 'r'). Did he ever design anything else for Glostrup? I think the answer is no. This would predispose me to think that you are right to be cautious about that attribution.
I have a pair of these chairs. There is a Glostrup sticker on at least one of them. I will photograph it if that is useful.
Obviously, paper proof would be preferable to validate any attribution; so far elusive.
There are several attributions online but perhaps all stem from the same misattribution.
Here is a Wright Auction listing ....is that considered a highly risky source?

Someone online also links Nanna Ditzel to these chairs and/or calls them Ditzel style but I could not find anything to back that up.
The Olsen attribution is repeated by auction houses and dealers. I completely understand that this attribution may or may not be validated.
Here is an Olsen attribution with similar arms and legs but different maker.

that is all I have found so far.
Lauritz sold a few of these chairs without attribution to a designer.

well I will look forward to verification either way someday. These were stellar chairs that were well priced without the attribution and they are sold. I will miss them, they were unique, comfortable and well made. They made me smile every time I looked at those wee arms,
interesting discussion,
