Is this a Skylark? ID needed

Hi there Alembic experts.  
I have come across this guitar from my late uncle who willed his stock to me.  It says Skylark on the headstock but very little anywhere else, and although it has the sculpted body, it bears little resemblence to other Alembic Skylark shapes.
I wondered if it might be an old model before Alembic branding became more consolidated.  Or what?  Perhaps it's a mongrel or a fake?
 
The bridge appears to be a normal Les Paul type

Many thanks

Hmmm. That first link doesn't appear to work. Perhaps this time ?

Your link reminds me - I posted my own Ari Pro II on that board before it was commandeered by matsumoku:

I've still got it too!
