What are these?

These are/were my father's and grandfather's guitars, respectively. I can't read the serial number of the Mosley but the Mosrite is V0042. My father always said the Mosrite was special and referred to it as a prototype but I found another person online who said that the only real special thing about it is that it predates the Venture's branding deal.
I've been told that Semie Moseley and my grandfather were friends somehow, I'm starting to suspect through his ministry after reading more about Moseley Guitars, and that Semie gave both of these guitars to them. I'm not very familiar with the non Mosrite since my grandfather wasn't around when I grew up and I don't think my father had his guitar until after his passing and I was out on my own.
From reading the forum and finding some pictures online, is that other guitar a "Celebrity"? I wonder if the serial number is listed somewhere else. My coworker suggested I try to take a rubbing of the serial number to see if that makes it more clear. I do have the admit that I'm the only non-musical person in my father's or my generation. I assume it's probably safe to destring the guitar to take a rubbing?
Hopefully my post is appropriate and thank you all for your time !
