How true is Warmoth to Vintage specs?

[Deep Purple in Rock]

Considering their Vintage Stratocaster necks (not the CBS or modern/vintage necks), how well do they follow the vintage aesthetics?
As far as I have understood it, vintage (pre 1964) necks had their side inlay dots centered on the seam of the fretboard and shaft instead of having them dead center on the fretboard.
I see that they have the vintage style tuner holes, which is great.
Is the 12th dot spacing wide (vintage style pre 1964) or narrow (modern style post 1964)?
Are the fingerboard edges rolled or not? (They shouldn't be right, if it's vintage?)

This link has some books that list out vintage specs, rather than speculating.  (It also has other good stuff.) Highly recommend the strat book or one of its successors by A.R. Duchossoir, though the tele book's pictures are better.

Warmoth are not really trying to replicate vintage details etc. It is not their model.

They are Fender licensed and offer three different neck constructions with the options that are offered. Warmoth does not roll fingerboards.

- Vintage necks have the side dots half-in/half-out for two-piece necks.
- No rolled fretboard edges on any necks except for completely fretless ones, and even then it's a pretty conservative rounding.
- One more note re: scalloping -- on these necks, the fret ends are rounded over unlike on any other neck.
- 12th fret dots are wide spaced on Vintage necks. Compare:
