Bridge posts have flathead slots; open book headstock looks very flat; cutaway looks shallow...

I'd say Chinese made.

The Chibsons I've seen all do say Suprome and if they showed a picture of the jackplate it's most likely square...

That's the correct shape for a Les Paul jackplate.
Or, does a Supreme have something different, like maybe the football shape? :hmm

Supremes don't have cavity covers and all the controls are fed through a elongated jack plate. These are somewhat hollow guitars with a thick maple top and back.
Fakes are not quite as elaborate I think.

I seen her and the Plasmatics way back in the late 70's at a club and she did brandish the ole chainsaw to a fake Les Paul and she had tape covering her nips and had her big blonde Mohawk . A good show it was !
