I'm looking at a very strange MIJ strat, denoted as a Floyd Rose series with a strange looking Floyd Rose tremelo, but the really weird part is this headstock. Does anyone know anything about these things? I wanna buy it but it's such a strange machine. http://www.trademe.co.nz/music-instrume ... 596950.htm

It's the second model of HM Strat that Fender added to lineup a year or two before they discontinued all HMs. This model is pretty similar to one of the Heartfield Talon models but it has a traditional Strat-shaped body (the Talon had an elongated/deeply cut body); the headstock is similar but not quite the same as the Talon. I'm pretty sure this model was clearly market "Made in Japan"; the other model with the Strat headstock has no country of origin decal but the bodies and necks are stamped like other FujiGen products (and they were clearly marked "Made in Japan" in 1988, but the "Made in Japan" decal disappeared in 1989).

The checkerboard paint job is aftermarket. Here's a photo of a 1992 catalog page:
