Can anyone verify that 10 out of the 11 holes on the '62 pickguards will match up with the 10 on the mexican standards?

Welcome to the forum. Sorry for the delay in answering.

Anytime you want to use a guard from one model on another model you can run into issues.

I've compared photos of both to identical scale. The crucial neck cut and pickup placement look workable. The pickup placement is a near exact match. The neck cutout appears slightly wider on the 62 RI pickguard which would be workable but not a precise fit. The necks were obviously a little wider on the 1962 RI. I don't think it will be especially noticeable though.

Many of the screw holes will line up but some won't. The ones the most off are on the lower horn (when looking down in playing position) as the 62 RI guard is just slightly longer going toward the lower horn. It appears to me from doing the comparison that it would work but you will have to drill additional holes in your instrument.
