Mosrite Nokie model

Does anyone know much about these guitars..? Seem like an old man version of the normal Ventures model with the contours etc.!
The Nokie models came in two flavors - the cheaper line with a flat headstock (that is a headstock surface that runs parallel to the fingerboard), non-adjustable pickups, no binding on the neck etc. The higher end (the "Anniversary" line) has a chambered body, neck and body bindings, adjustable PUs, custom colors - a pic of an anniversary model was posted a while back on this forum. Some of the Nokie Anniversary models from Mosrite also had a split pickguard and custom electronics.
Given the state of Mosrite at the time these guitars were produced, I am willing to bet that whatever parts were availabale got used in producing Nokie models that would not cleanly fall into either one of these two lines.
