Yours definitely has the post 1951 New York profile and f-holes (subtly different than Gibson's), but I also know of at least two Zeniths - one of which I saw in person in the early/mid-70's, the other of which I saw in a photo (which, given the rarity factor, may in fact have been the same guitar) - built on the L-50 platform, probably to fill existing dealer orders during the final days of Kalamazoo production...

As to the photography, I'm no expert but to my eye it's actually quite good, in terms of both detail and setting/composition...
