@GonePlaid ….
should consider replacing the bridge pup on your 67 with a dummy metal cover and sell the 67 pup to fund a 2021 NR….
Maybe...
On another note(Db), I don't put gear related decals(or political, or controversial opinions-even though mine are correct :smug:)such as Gibson, 7ender[amps only], etc. on my gigmobile. But I did add the one at the bottom of the pic today.

I wouldn’t sweat it, from the pics it looks like just the claw has been relocated, if so that won’t effect intonation at all. About the only thing it would effect is OCD attacks, which I have and fortunately it appears you don’t.
Not enuff to do anything about something that I don't see and doesn't affect the bass's ability to make low pitch noises.:)

I kept thinking something was different on the new NR. The pickguard is larger/closer to the bottom side of the bass than the originals and the "point" by the neck pickup is wider and shorter (given the neck pickup is closer the bridge on the originals. Raises another question as to "why"?
Gibson being Gibson.
