I've never seen a Morse with that trem before but EB did use the Schaller style trem units on the 80s Silhouettes (with behind the nut lock) until switching to the Floyd Rose system.
Very cool find!

Pete knows better than I do but I'd also suggest contacting Customer Service with the serial number and see what the can tell you about that particular guitar.

Wow, that's an odd duck. I'd like to know as well.

It's only second time ever I see a Morse with a pre-floyd Shaller trem. Looks all legit, though - just like on silos from before 1991-1992 (http://www10.pic-upload.de/27.02.13/cnn5vexdldf.jpg)
I tried an old silo with a trem like this - felt quite good, actually, a bit more responsive and easy-going that the Schaller Floyd in my opinion.

I just thought I would add that the Schaller-built trem that EBMM used in 1980s was sold by Schecter under the name "Trem Lock" for a couple of years circa 1984-85 - right up until the Dallas-based iteration of Schecter went out of business. The main difference was that the Schecter version had their logo on the metal plate for the knife edge that bolted onto the body of the guitar and the Schecter had a pop-in trem arm while the version EBMM used had a Floyd-style screw into a collar trem arm.
