In fact it looks much like the brass cheek plates on your Bryant! Tuners looks similar as well.
Perhaps it's a Bryant scroll? What do you think Ken?
The back of the two scrolls are not as similar, however. I'll have to post a pic of the back of the scroll to compare.

I have no idea who made that Scroll. I just don't think it's a Prescott Scroll. Old Yankee basses from Prescott's time were 3-string. Many Basses get their heads chopped off. Back then I am sure the Luthiers preferred replacing the entire neck/scroll over doing a neck graft and saving the original.
Nice basses though, both of them.
