I suspect it was originally either linseed oil or a very thin coat of catalysed lacquer underneath an oil finish

Like a seal coat, you mean?

Oil over lacquer?

I don't really like using film finishes on solid wood, but this is a dining table. Waterlox is always an option, but it takes forever. Lately I have been doing a couple thin coats of pre-cat on certain Danish pieces... looks very much like a well-maintained oil finish, with all the added benefits.
