Looks way too heavly built for anything out of a airplane, plus those belt loops are too high for a lap belt, but too low for a shoulder harness.

This is just a wild guess, a vertigo simulator ?? They'd spin you in it until you inner ear was completely confused, the belt went across the center of your chest to keep you from falling out of it while being spun. I've seen one made out of a office chair, it just had a big ring around the outside for your " friends" to spin you till you puked. Just a guess.
 
I'm not sure on the aircraft type, but I've seen that style of seat somewhere, in an early WW2 British aircraft. The base shows a pintle, meaning that the seat would have swivelled at one time, which makes me think Navigator. That said, I also remember old chairs in the guard's (brake) van on the old steam railways, which looked very similar.
