As always, I’m open to offers on the below, but looking online, I think the prices seem fair.
Priced individually below, or or all 3 for £30 delivered.
Genuine Fender Single Ply White Scratchplate (8 hole)
£15 delivered
Taken from my Classic 50s Player Strat when I decided to convert it into a HSS config.
Scratchplate in fantastic condition as it only sat on the guitar for 2 or 3 months.
I see GAK have these for over £40 for some bizarre reason, which seems utterly ridiculous to me!

Comments
Fender scratchplates do not usually come with a location lug hole for small Asian pots. Also, genuine Fender tort and MOTO scratchplates are four-ply (the fancy layer over white/black/white) rather than three.
Anyway, with your comments in mind, I'll revise the ad - thanks for the info!
Indeed, it is. From the same Mexican factory that makes the majority of 'guards for MIA and MIM instruments.
If you offer your three 'guards up to each other, their outlines ought to be identical but will not be. Regardless of the fastening screw count, seven holes ought to align. Inevitably, some of those seven will not.
On the two mystery 'guards, the screw holes on the upper edge, between the neck and centre pickup cut-outs, cannot seem to decide whether to follow the early Sixties pattern or the revised mid Sixties pattern. They fail to comply to either pattern. Result - the body wood of your Stratocaster probably has more holes than a Golf course.
