Same guitar before the Humbucker?

My guess...early 50's body with a newer ('66 to '69) Maple Cap neck. It has a butterfly retainer and no filled plug on the headstock. No "new" Tele could yellow that much, that fast (even with the way they smoked).
Yes, the pic showing grain was stripped...most probably the same body.
Robbie goofed with Guitars...his famous 50's Strat was done in a Brown, a Black Guard, and the middle pickup moved next to the bridge.

(He flipped the neck humbucker around to throw us off...he knew it would play with our heads 35 years later!)
