There's also a 10-screw pattern which was used very briefly in the same year, before they finally settled on the (first of the) 11-screw patterns.
Your choices are going to be either to have a new pickguard custom-made to fit, or accept drilling new holes in the body.
Personally, I think multi-ply guards look wrong with anything less than 11 screws, so I would find an 11-screw one which matches the existing 8 screws - pay close attention to the one on the top edge between the middle and neck pickups - and drill the other three holes. But also be aware that if they've been strictly historically correct and routed the control cavity without the 'step' next to the switch, that won't fit either!
