The trem mounted on the Explorer looks like a regular Gibson vibrola, it's probably stock, and because of the way they mount I'm not sure they'd fit on a Les Paul body. I've only ever seen them on flat-bodied Gibsons. The one you posted in the link looks good, though. And not too expensive, either.

Actually, it does look like a Bowen handle... bit blurry though. I thought it was a short Vibrola.
How long has the Bowen handle been around? I'd never heard of it before.
Also, have Stetsbars been mentioned yet? Horrendously expensive, but I really like the look of them.

It does look like a maestro vibrola.
Also the stetsbars are great I remember trying them out at music live a couple of years ago, its a shame theyre so expensive.

In the '70s Gibson installed B5 Bigsbys on some Les Pauls(like below).
