mystery Les Paul?

Hi there,

 

New here, and I have a question.

 

I have this Les Paul that I've been trying to date, and I've done my homework. Just seeing if anyone might be able to give me a more definitive answer:

 

SN 403458 - no Made in USA stamp - 1966 right?

 

Pot code - 1377452 - 1974 right? There's also another stamp, 70-029.

 

Square lettered logo (yellow silk screen) with no opening on the 'o' and 'n' - 1967 and up, right?

 

To make matters more confusing, the body is definitely Standard (one sided binding), but there's a custom-looking neck on it (ebony fretboard, block inlays) but with no diamond inlay on the headstock. Apparently the neck has never been removed according to a reputable repairman (checked with a black light), so it ended up being a mystery to the shop I consulted, who believe it's a 70's LP. It seems so, but why no Made in USA stamp?

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks

 

here's a couple of quick pics:
