That is a pretty interesting color, though.

Yep, I like the color too.

MIM are HSH routed.

Not all.

My Road Worn isn't. I've seen plenty of SSS too.

I think the telltale on MIM fenders is they have a small circle routed below the pickup cavities.

Mine has 3 circles. I've heard that those were invented both to make cnc easier as well as make it harder to pass a MIM body as MIA. I could not tell you either way on either of those things though

I read there are 1, 2 and 3-hole versions on MIM body, depending of the model.

Yeah, mine has three.

But I don't think MIA have those circular holes.

My SSS MIM is routed like that with one hole. I read somewhere what it meant - I think it was a pilot rout or hold-down point for the rest of the routing? Can't remember.
