I don't know why, but I think there were quite a few Greco's of that era with that headstock design. I found a catalogue (linked from another thread on this forum somewhere a while back) full of Les Pauls from prior to '83 with that same headstock..........

I'll go see if I can find the link again.............

Looks very Ibanez to me.

there are pics in my Japan Vintage books of Grecos with that headstock going back to the mid 70s...not rare not unusual not a sign of a lesser Greco. They had quite a few headstock designs actually, another Japanese acoustic builder, Sadao Yairi, used several headstock shapes too. The Greco I got from this decade has that headstock too, kind of a retro thing I guess.
