Jazz Special like I've never seen

Ok so I stumbled upon this on FB marketplace. I have an 80s Jazz Special and love it; I'm intrigued and confused by this one that seemingly has a mix of original and replacement parts (different tuners and pickups).
Thoughts, anyone?

This isn't the first one I've seen - I think these were a limited run that the Lyte was later based on? It's just like this one:

I bought an 80s MIJ Jazz Special PJ from Wunjos today after testing it out last week. Sounded better than any other PJ in Fenders current line up, including the Elites!

On my way home I popped into the Gallery in Camden and they have a slightly different model with angled pickups as well as a P Lyte and a bright red Tokai Hard Puncher copy of the Jazz Special! Great prices on all of them too.
