Keep in mind that manufacturers looking to engage a US importer might build their best "spec" instrument to shop around & demo. There's no good reason to annoy, let's say, Kentucky putting "Fender" on the headstock, or vice versa. Or it was simply an in-house prototype.
Often enough, such "orphan" instruments do make it out into the world. There was a recent thread about such a Weber/Sound-to-Earth mandolin.
