A Elite with mods to look like a regular Stratocaster ?

Why do you think it's an Elite neck?
Besides that, an Elite body & electronics (specific pickups, PCB, battery box and whatnut) is sort of easy to spot.

Well, it may not be so easy to define. There are some early Elites that had a Strat like design without buttons, and some came with a switch although the trem, electronics, switch and so on combined should narrow it down a little.
