Could just be my eyes, but the fretboard binding looks to be a different shade of white than the body binding. I bet it's been replaced. But it's a nice looking instrument!
Re: 1980 4001 - no side fretboard markers?
You are right sir - there is a slight change in the binding colour from the side to the edge. The older binding on the top edge is yellowed a lot more, indicating its age (I think)

Yep picture #2 shows some curious marks below the actual fingerboard.
So I would say no doubt binding replacement.
Wow that looks in immaculate shape, congrats.
