The pickguard screw above the switch is in a different position than fenders, it's in the "import" position.
Seems like Fender plastics are usually a darker parchment white, instead of the bright white plastics like this.
Switch appears to be the thinner type for imports, and the switch tip is the skinnier kind as well.
A lot of times, squier levels seem to have the super-shiny chromed out bridges, and fenders tend to look a bit duller.
But with a pickguard and covers change, I probably wouldn't be able to say conclusively that it's not a fender from these angles.
