Title: Modified or original LP Recording Bass?

I saw this on the local CL. The headstock is not black, and there's no crown inlay. Also has the 60's tuners instead of Schaller M4s. Is this a modified instrument or an early variant?

I've never seen either of those features before and it also has a dotted i on the Gibson logo.

The logo is a decal instead of MOP.
