E-series P-Bass Japan 84-87 authenticity doubt

Hi, how are you im having trouble checking the authenticity of this fender precision bass because the lack of information about that period of time.
could anyone that has a PBASS japan help me to identify it?
here are some images that i have:


it has a Fender with Fender word plate, and i dont know why but the body and neck have different numbers.

other question i have is about the pickups, what type of mics did the pbass originally had in that era?

thanks for all the help!

Looks legit for a standard (not vintage reissue) MIJ Fender.
The pickups (you called it mic) would be unremarkable MIJ pickups in that model, doesn't really matter for value if they've been swapped and might be an upgrade.
