What Guitar case did I buy on eBay?

Hello everyone,,
I recently won a vintage Gibson "Les Paul Jr." in an eBay auction.


The seller did not try to deceive anyone, they clearly stated they had this case for a very long time and did not know much about it. Worried, it could be for a 3/4 guitar I asked what the size of the case was and they told me it was 39.5" in length on the inside.


I figured this was the correct case for my Les Paul Jr.


Turns out it wasn't. My guitar is wider and rounder than the case can accommodate . The case is a Gibson case, it clearly has the Gibson name on the inside, I just was not able to get it to focus in the photo.


Anyone have any idea what Guitar this case was made for?


Thanks!

Could be a mk III Melody Maker which had a narrower less round lower bout that tapers to the bottom strap button, kinda teardrop with wider cutaways.
