Differences between Thinline and Thinline RI pickguards

[PeterUK]

Can anyone advise of the difference between a Thinline and a Thinline Reissue pickguard.

I've e-mailed the seller of these two auctions although I suspect its the same picture for both:

1968-1971 Fender Telecaster Thinline:

Thinline reissue:

I've used a WD Thinline Guard on this one:

but it leaves a gap between the neck and the pick up:



or click here if the picture doesn't show.

Any advice welcome.

FYI,
Dazbootman made one for my old Thinline, topnotch and it fit perfectly. Since the pickguards are the same price I suspect there really is a difference.

Bryan [Dazbootman] has been in touch and is going to send me the relevant tracings so I can determine exactly what I need.
