Default Czecho Slovakia - apparently a 'hybrid'

Ken,
The edges "seam" to tell the story:
- spruce top
- laminated back - flat, with upper slope

After buying (and selling) a number of decent Kays recently - uncomfortable with their skinny necks - I think this Czecho could be the indoor/outdoor bass for jazz I've been looking for. Plays well with others, using Spiro mittels and an Underwood p/u.

Lastly: do tuning plates or keys or gears afford any additional clues as to country of origin or date?

Thanks for sharing your insights.
