The TVL JM is the only guitar with the Mustang-style bridge with p/n 7702080000. It's similar to the Marr jag's bridge (in fact it could be the same - Fender sometimes uses different part numbers for the same part), having the anti-sink nylon bushings on the height screws to prevent the bridge dropping.

Given the Oxblood TVL first appeared ~2014 I would have expected it to have E-E spacing around 56mm, but maybe they changed to narrower later like they did with the Marr's bridge ??
There is also at least one report of the TVL not having that 7702080000 bridge at all.

IIRC it's the same bridge as the MarrGuar and AmPro offsets but with brass saddles instead of steel. It used to have 56mm spacing, but switched to 52mm at some point when the rest of the line did.
