Precision Bass Pickguard on a Precision Copy

Greetings, lads! I have a Jay Turser JTB-400 Precision Copy (http://www.jayturser.com/products/bass/jtb-400.php, but the white color of the pickguard has faded out, and now it looks really bad (the previous owner had put a sticker on it, and the shape of it is very apparent). So, I would like to buy a new one.
My questions are: Do any (or most) P-bass copy have the same shape and size? Would a casual Fender pickguard fit on my bass? The pickguard have, I believe, 13 screws (9 all around, plus two on each half of the pickup). Also, I don't quite know where to buy those... Do they usually sell them in music stores?
Thanks in advance for answering my numerous questions!

P-Bass pickguards are slightly different for each brand. Some have the neck heel opening smaller, some have 14 screws, some don't fit over the jack input section, etc.
Lots of threads here on Talk Bass on the in and outs of pickguard replacement.

Hum. that's odd... It seems like every pickguard on your links have their 13 or 14 screwholes around the body, while mine only has 9... I guess it isn't much of an issue, but still.

It will be an issue if the screw holes don't line up just right. I've had different Fender stuff not interchange well. Its not just the number of holes.

Perhaps I should try and find the dimensions of a casual Fender Precision pickguard to see if it fits, right? (Looking at the pictures, the same 9 screws holes I have are all in the same spots than the Fenders, there's just not as much).
