MIJ Fender PBass Authentication

In some of the photos the light source produces a sheen around it, and you can see what looks like wear to the finish illuminated by the glare, the body seems to be old. Looks like the polishing and normal wear and tear marks on a poly finish. But if it were a Fender body there'd be markings in the neck pocket.

And you can tell the neck and body are mismatched because the neck has the micro-tilt thing on it, and so does the neck plate, but the body does not have micro tilt.
 
in regards to the neck, we did find this online - similar stamping with the 55 and purple dot. possible the neck is legit (at least)?
