Looks like a repair with a typical hide glue fail.
It would have been hard to re glue first time . As in clamping it right . And hide glue fails if its not a good tight join .
Things get worse because now the old glue has to be cleaned off . Hot water and a brush will do it but you lose the perfect fresh joining surfaces.
So two pack glue and clamping it right works . Tricky clamping like that needs a surface built up with Filler and wood to get the right clamping angle .

I took all the legs off and decided to dismantle the loose good ones to clean and glue them. I think they will be the basis of making suitable clamping system first. I suspect I will end up making new sections for the legs to fit into. Started a cleaning of the rest of it just using metholated spirits and a sponge and it is working nicely.
