I'd say most likely it's a Washita or a soft Arkansas. Bevel setter, knife sharpener, very all round useful stone. Cuts fast when freshly lapped and gets finer and slower as it gets broken in. Congrats!
I would say soft Arkansas. Great all around stone that can be manipulated by freshing the surface with W/D, DMT, SIC, etc. If both sides are usable then I would keep one fresh and fast cutting while allowing the other side to settle in for a finer edge. Sort of like a combination stone.
