Default Bullet Strat pickguard question

Does anyone know if a Fender 11-hole pickguard will fit on a Squier COB or COS Bullet Strat? I know there may be some screw holes that might need to be redrilled. I'm wondering if the neck heel is the same shape as the cutout in the guard. I tried to put an American parchment pickguard on my old Affinity, but the Squier's neck heel was more rounded and the guard looked odd at the neck even though all the screw holes lined up perfectly.

Since I un-modded my Deluxe Strat, I've got a nice box of parts sitting in my basement, so now I'm thinking about buying a sunburst Bullet and doing some instant upgrades (MIM vintage bridge, Highway One pickguard, Wilkinson vintage tuners.) I've been playing around with a few Bullets that I really like, and since I already have a really nice Strat, I think a Bullet would make an excellent second guitar to have around when I want to change things up a bit.

It's been my experience that every pickguard fits a little differently, especially when it comes to hole alignment. I've never replaced one that didn't require at least some tweaking (including Fender branded and aftermarket guards).

I put a Fender HSS guard on my Bullet Strat - it fit just fine, considering. A little sandpaper cures most ill-fits.
