First, welcome to the forum!
Are you the original owner? If so, or not, when did you get it? I believe Peavey took over CA sometime in 2010. I believe quality control problems happened with some CA guitars in '09 and '10 that mostly affected neck angles, so as long as yours has no issues there, it shouldn't matter under which ownership it was made as to whether your guitar is good or not.
Fwiw, my '08 pre-Peavey Cargo has an oval sticker in silver with black text that says "CARGO" (so obviously a sticker made just for Cargos), "Handcrafted in the U.S.A.", and a handwritten serial number which may be in black ink, but because the numbers appear to be faded it's hard for me to tell what the serial number actually is, or how many numerals (possibly 7).
As for the binding problem, I suppose if the wood glue seems to be holding fine, then I guess it's ok. Being CF, I probably would've tried another type of glue, maybe for plastics.
Hope this helps some.
