This is a nice drum, no matter who or what it is. I would grab that shell, it is similar to a 6 ply Ludwig and would sound pretty good. I would strip it down, to bare shell on the outside and refinish to match your kits. The drilling pattern should be easy enough to match lugs to. If you have a 3 ply Ludwig, for instance and want a different sound in the 16" floor tom area, this will bring a great sounding tone that wil be very cannon like.

It probably is a Tama. Often companies will commission drum companies to make a series just for them for a promotion of some sort. It's a very common practice.
That sure don`t look like an MIJ too me
I agree that they really look like a Tama late era stencil and must be a very limited run because I have never heard or seen of that California stencil brand. MIJ means just that- a drum made in Japan- even super fine Canopus are MIJ and the ultra high end Yamaha, Pearl and Tamas are still produced here one by one. MIJ can also mean extreme quality sometimes.
