My first Les Paul was an early 70's, probably a Deluxe, that had been converted with humbuckers. Unable able to determine the exact year, it had the volute, the 3 piece neck, sandwich body construction but pots dated at the end of 1969. The humbucker routing looked like a factory job though, and the pickups were T Tops, one a stickered patent number, the other a stamped patent number. The serial number could have been from 70, 71 or 72......such was the Gibson system at the time.
It's the black one on the right. I no longer have it. it was a good guitar, but I needed to fund other purchases. And it was a hefty weight, I guess in the 11lb range.
