The Brit Guitars did had the name on the headstock, though, as noted.  
Still, JMI did make a lot of guitars and the reason you see so few these days is that they are just being kept by their owners.  And I agree,  you don't see many Italian Phantoms either recently.
As far as the Brit guitars being rarer, yes they are.  I do not have the actual numbers of Brit vs. Italian, but as the Magic 8 Ball says, "soon it will be revealed".Statistics: Posted by RogerT — Wed Sep 10, 2008 5:42 pm
