Even though you can't see the date codes, the pots and pick guard look original. Mine look the same on my 78.

and the neck shim on the body. :?

it looks legit to me too. The only possible anomalies I can see is that there is no "TORREZ" stamp in the neck cavity. Just about every lefty I have ever seen from that era had that person's name stamped in the cavity.
The other anomaly is there is no A, B or C neck width stamp on the butt end of the neck.
Neither of these two anomalies would be a deal breaker for me tho, as I have seen examples where one or both are missing.
