Pretty sweet find.
If you keep the rack, be sure to place something between the bottom of the clamp and the top of the brake bridge. It can be a simple as a block of aluminum or a stiff, strong strap - just something that can go into compression without buckling.
This will prevent the rack from sliding down the stays destroying the paint. It will also prevent any desire to crank down on the clamping bolts, thereby damaging/denting the stays.
