It was sold to me as "L-048" Scobiancistrus Pariolispos but looking on other pictures of this species I do not think mine resembles L-048 at all!

No, rather not. I see gibbiceps pictured here and he has dark dots on light body, mine is the opposite way: yellow dots on dark body. I agree, it is similar but sure different.
