The problem is that the original eight-hole, single-ply pickguards don't discolour in the way that the later eleven-hole white/black/white Nitrate ones do.
It matters very little in the grand scheme of things.
Fender themselves are getting increasingly slack about such anachronisms. DuPont Sonic Blue was first used in 1960. IMO, it has no place on any "Fifties" model.
A friend of mine has a Vintera "Fifties" Tele in Sonic Blue. It plays very nicely but I always balk at the colour mismatch.
