Sorry to say that I have no ideas on this one.
One of the other will be along soon enough to help you out.

I have no idea either but not likely a Mats made product.
It looks like the original branding was on a metal plate nailed on to the head stock. You'd typically find that on guitars of the 60's and into the 70's. Most guitars will have a decal or inlay.

IF you can somehow match the shape of the remaining shadow to known MIJ guitar brands of that era you might be able to narrow down the possibilities?
