What is This Bakelite Steel?

[realben]

Any ideas what this War Time Bakelite steel is? A factory re-necked Model B? A trade show one off? A home brew? I'm baffled. The fret board screws into wood. Thanks for your info.

Given the weird panda plates, Id guess a non-favtory re-neck, reusing the original badge. But who knows.
