Identify "strange" casino

So somewhere probably 10 years ago i bought a casino, didn't end up keeping it too long and sold it to a buddy who still owns it. When i got it, there was no sticker inside the F hole, and a strange "serial number" on the back of the headstock of simply "305" i had emailed gibson at the time to see what i could find out and was told by them something like "that 305 means it's a lennon model" which IMO there was NO way it was. My best guess is a 90's korean made (the burst looks like a peerless to me) that the sticker fell off of before i ever got it, and god only knows what that 305 is or if it came from the factory like that? So years later my friend sent me these couple photos of it so i thought i would post them up here and see if anyone knows anything about the 305 or thinks the guitar looks to be anything but a Korean made with an odd stamp on the headstock. The only other strange thing to me is i don't remember ever seeing one where the back of the neck wasn't just a solid black finish?
