There is another anomaly with the Mottola Guitar.
The bridge is a "fixed" Tunomatic variant whereas Crests usually have an archtop type bridge.
The position of the three way toggle doesn't suit either the ES355 or the Crest.
There is a "mistake" in the description in the Rudy's ad. Presumably, the whole wiring harness of a Recording has been fitted into the guitar with the necessary extension for the 3 way toggle. Therefore the Controls would be Volume, Bass, Treble and Decade. There cannot be Decade, 2 Volume and 2 Tone as they say - that's five and the pic only shows four.
I notice also that it states that there are two outputs - that is a Recording Mark II arrangement. Maybe this guitar came before the Mark II?
