Trouble Identifying

I have just acquired a basket case ric. It had a rattle can finish on it, UGh! and it looks like they held the garage door open with it! I want to bring it back as close as I can, these are the only numbers I could find and they are on the back of the pots. "137-6619" can anybody decipher these numbers and let me know what age ? Its a 330 for sure. And is there a way to possibly find out the style of finish it was? MG, JG, FG? Any info would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks, Billy

Posting pics will help identify it definitively.
The pot codes translate to week 19 of 1966. 137 is the manufacturer which should be CTS.
The jackplate where the guitar plugs in will give you two letters and some numbers which will date it precisely. A 66 should start with the letter F.
Cheers and welcome to the RRF.

Brian many thanks, This poor thing had the Jack plug and pickups ripped out. Hence, my queries. But If I can date it to a 66 i'm happy. I just have to cipher the paint scheme next. if anyone has any Idea how to go about this please let me know. It has a crack in the deck by the sound hole. i think I can make that disappear, im hoping it turns up to be a fireglow. fingers crossed.
