@WezV - yes a veneer is a good idea. That also leads into my next challenge - bridging the bottom of the truss rod cavity so I can use a 2-screw TRC.
A reasonably substantial veneer could aid this maybe?
Ooooh, you mean...the other Orville....?

I've done some sanding and filing (or 'rasping', if you're a pendant ) on the headstock to help the new chunk merge with the rest.
I've also reamed the tuner holes out to 10mm to take the Rotomatics.

@WezV - if I were to go down the veneers route, do you recommend a supplier? I've had a quick look on eBay and Amazon, and there are some out there, but any secret suggestions? Do I get stuff with adhesive already applied/iron on?
Many thanks

Little bridge bit glued in now, so I can use a 2 screw TRC.
Plus I can still adjust the truss rod which is a bonus!
@GuitarMonkey is VERY kindly sending me some veneer which will cover the whole thing.
I'm looking forward to hearing "Something".
So... welcome to headstock week!
The veneer kindly donated by GuitarMonkey arrived safe and sound.

I hadn't noticed before now but the headstock is on the piss a bit. Look at the curves either side of the truss rod cavity running from the sides of the nut up to the corners below the 2 e-string tuners. Totally lopsided! Ah well.
Here's the back with a bit of stain on it:
