It could easily be another salted cabbage or it could indeed be sauerkraut.  Although one could argue that just about any cabbage stored in a salty liquid will become sauerkraut anyway.

I believe you have hit the nail on the head, here.  If you mix salt and 
cabbage in the right ratio, it _will_ turn into sauerkraut.
