Looks "midway" to me and the Accent tailpiece looks somewhat high... seems like a post-production add-on.... I'll defer to jdogric.

Is the main plate of an Accent supposed to sit that high off the body?

Yeah it would sit lower (i.e.: better) from the factory. Winfield makes pieces that convert in both directions.

So can we definitely answer the OP’s inquiry and conclude that the guitar is a 350V63 that had the Accent vibrato installed sometime after purchase…?

That would be my conclusion. But I have been wrong once before.

Okay, make that most of the time.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's post-factory. Is the Latin for that "ex post facto?" ha ha ha ha sigh.
