I saw something about an SG/EB body being chopped and having different wings grafted on.
I don't know if it's another one of Don's creations; however, there's another similar bass called the Discoverer that is a mirror image of a Dean ML guitar.

He purchased that one under the false pretense that it was an actual Gibson prototype. Turned out to be completely fake. Looks like it may have started life as an EB.
Also, I didn't recall the second mudbucker on the V, and here's why:
Now that I think about it, it could still be the same bass with a different pickguard.

But the headstocks are not the same?
Basvarken:
I'm pretty sure these two photographs are photoshopped mockups.
The shadows of the knobs and bridge don't look consistent. They're different angle.
Plus with the Flying V there's an entire piece of the bridge missing on the right side near the stud.
The real Flying V that Dusty Hill and JAE used had a different shape headstock. Not triangular but with curved outlines.

Yeah, I see that now.
