How nice to see someone ask a question with pics included, bravo.

Both look legit to me.
The saddles on the white one should be bent steel for a 1999/2000 Standard - IIRC.
Otherwise on originality, MIM's are often modded with new electronics etc; which can't be seen without autopsy pics.

On the wine one there is something not right about the strap button but I don't know if that qualifies as an indicator of a fake. It could have been a poorly done hole repair. I would look closely at that area. If there is no evidence that there used to be a previous hole then I would ask questions why.

Just think of how awesome a guitar player you could have been by now if you had only spent the last 10 years practicing instead of obsessing over pickups and roasted maple necks.
