Slightly later, they started putting little stickers with the serial number on them (and on the underside of the pickguard, although this has been replaced anyway), but they often fall off after the glue has finally dried out.
The good news is that as long as the features are correct - and they do look to be - then you can't prove the body is *not* original to the neck either! My guess from the history of the mods on it is that it's an original neck and body, even if almost nothing else apart from the neckplate and jackplate are.

The 'dealer' thing makes me worried now you've said that, if it was very cheap.

I don't know how it is set-up at this stage and what adjustments are required to maximise the set-up - Not sure if it is fine as is, needs work, or indeed if you have the ability to do basic set ups yourself
Again not sure if any fret dress is required to achieve a better set-up - such issues will generally need to be on a bench to evaluate
other comments regarding neck/originality then I agree with above last few comments
It's from late 1981.
Shipping a "vintage" guitar over from the States takes some balls! I personally like the look of it - got a few stories to tell.
Any sepcific reason for a mid-70's Strat? You might have been able to get a late 70's one from the UK for a similar price ....
It's beyond price.

FedEx usually pay the VAT for you and bill you for it later to get stuff through faster.
