Default Iranian Kouchi / seesaw throw

I learned it a while ago from an irani teammate in judo , its called "guehvaré " ( ie spelling) or which can be translated as a seesaw .
Kazem sarikhani scoring ippon with this throw at the 1999 asian judo championships :

Sarikhani scored victories with uchi-mata, kami-shiho-gatame, a massive sukui-nage and a unique kouchi-gari against Makoto Takimoto in the semi-final. From an extreme left stance he hooked his left foot behind Takimoto's left leg and pulled the Japanese's right leg between his own from behind. The first attempt did not score and a second was rewarded only with a koka but on the third attempt he finally secured an ippon.

Any idea about the origin of this throw : shukhe , frrestyle wrestling or any other folkstyle ?
