I found this in a military collectibles catalog, but It does not match anything in the B-36 that I can verify.

I haven't been able to come up with anything either, but some observations;

It seems stationary, so it definitely is not a pilot's seat as that would be adjustable.

There are provisions for the standard seat belts as shown in the catalog page

It's not from a B-36 (at least a later one)

It seems not to support a seat parachute

I wish i could be of more help, I'll continue to look and see if I come across anything.
