Electa guitar

I have an Electa guitar similar to this one, model number 1867. I bought it in Melbourne in 1970 for $110
1866

I picked up an 1866 from an op shop today. It looks pretty much the same as the one above.
Mine seems to be a laminate top, with a type of fan bracing.
One really interesting thing about it is that beneath the circular Electa (Hand Crafted) label you can see a rectangular label with a red border.
I'm really curious if that label has another brand name on it.

Inside of the guitar, does it have a square label protruding with a red border that has been covered with a round Electa label? Is there any inlay on the head and bridge that matches the rosier like my 1866?
