They are on this Montgomery Ward retailed Airline mandolin which has a rather austere horizontal headstock top unlike the Airline electric mandolins Kay made which were pointed. The full line of Michael Kelly acoustic guitars are feature-packed and built on sound. Kay used Kluson tuners from the early 40s but in the 60s most of its output had Japanese tuners- a different style to those on your guitar and only used Kluson tuners for the very top models. The writer is impressed because one of these 618 guitars actually has the number 618 after the L number and he mentions he wished Kay had done as Harmony did and featured the model number in the production number but this was very rare.
To the right and below, you will find some images that will hopefully help you to. Here is an analysis of the Silvertone 618 guitar from the 50s- you can see it was made with the pointed headstock which Kay reverted to after the scalloped headstock your mandolin has. Rickenbacker serial numbers have been issued in a number of formats. I am pretty certain that I can see the top imprint of a Kluson tuner in the photo when it is enlarged.
