Mystery Tele Body Date HELP!!!

Hello Friends..I own a mongrel Fender tele...1965 Custom neck ..jumbo frets. Body is Fender white..mellowed to butterscotch. Has notch at neck pocket...BUT NO CHANNEL ROUTE from neck pickup to switch!!! In neck pickup route is pencil (or pen) numbers??31 or 51 or 37 or 57or 61.. I can't make it out but it's under the finish. My bridge plate has FENDER written straight / parrallel to saddles (Smooth barrels) #164227 with pat. number 2,273,254 The number on neck plate is 106712. The body cannot match neck because it has no binding? There seems to be a "T" or possibly "H" lightly PUNCHED in the base of the back of the neck between the screw holes. The ferrules are NOT countersunk. There are (3?) round green stamps in the neck pocket. The guitar is not with me ..but I recall one was a 20. My date guess is somewhere in the sixties due to the neck pocket notch??? PLEASE HELP!!THANKS!!!
