LG-1 bracing

Got this curious LG-1 in the shop....No serial number...Painted back of headstock ( looks original )...My question...What's the deal with the top braces ?...Never seen this in my 40 plus years fixing gfuitars...ALL the top braces are square and laminated like the pic...One of them has curled back on the end away from the top...Pretty badly...I don't thing forcing it back into the top and glueing it will work...Bonus shot...Vintage Pat applied for Barcus Berry pickup mounted behind the bridge !
