The Mummies guitars?

anybody know what these are? The bass looks like it could say Jedson on the headstock but i've never seen a Jedson guitar with that body or headstock.

I think Stewart has one of these or something very similar.
No idea what the model name is, though.

no idea about the guitar but i love the mummies, a lot. tough finding out what the guitars are exactly, is it just for the cover or did they use them live ? could try youtube to get more close up views.

the ones on the mummies cover look like some sort of apollo model (confusingly called strato in germany), although i can't see the exact one on the framus vintage site. that doesn't mean much, as mine isn't on there either. they seem to have made a bewildering amount of models.
