    even down to what looks like a ding from tooling above and to the right of the centre bridge screw hole.
    That's not a ding, that's the penetration (hole) for the bridge ground wire.

    D'oh indeed! I should have realised that the chances of two identical dings like that are pretty much zero

    That does make me wonder, though -- why do Tele-style bridges need a separate hole for grounding? Couldn't the ground wire to the bridge just be connected inside the pickup route? After all, it's all the same bit of metal.

    (Makes perfect sense for a Tune-o-matic bridge or similar, of course.)
