I would think there are few people who know with direct knowledge/experience. Gibson will say “scalloped”, maybe “advanced X” or maybe even say it’s based on some old classic etc. But they don’t appear to be at all faithful to reproducing new guitars based on vintage designs with authentic vintage specs....and thus are entirely unpredictable.

Maybe use a smart phone to take a few thru soundhole pics as well as make a couple measurements such as how far the x is from sound hole, height/width of x braces....then post back here?

I have drafted up willie henkes drawing of a 1930s AJ and thus we can compare to that to help you in your quest...
