I just got a strat body. it is a hot rod vintage olympic white thin skin. The finish is definitely nitro and the checking is without the poly underneath at least by appearance it looks this way. To me, it looks abit more vintage white but Fender doesnt offer that color in nitro at least from what i can find on their web site.

This is what is inside:
Neck pocket dat feb18 2007 and a barely readable serial number?
Neck pup cavity : stamped L on left side in Large font and on right side COL

middle cavity has a bar code 0053807-305placed over a orangey red dot with an unreadable number

bridgle cavity has green dot with what looks like 358 written on it.

control cavity has another bar code C00172190

I went thru Fenders website and the custom webstie looking at olympic white color codes and did not see anything that resembled any of these numbers.

Any help would be apreciated.Thanks

well the bar code in the middle cavity, I believe was to just track the body's progress in the factory
