Replacement Agile LP-style pickguard fitment?

My understanding is that Les Paul guitar pickguards made for Gibson and Epiphone models differ in size and are thus not interchangeable.
Any of you know which of the two brand's pickguard size is installed on Agile's LP-style guitars like the AL-3010, AL-3100, AL-3200 and so on?
Thanks!

Just a guess, Epi's and Agiles are both made in Asia so both likely have metric parts.

I tend to agree, just hoping to make sure if possible.

Is Rondo sold out? They usually have Agile pickguards in stock, or used to.

Pickguards for Gibson humbucker LPs will fit on Epi LPs (at least any made since the early 2000s) as well as Agile AL-2xxxs, AL-3xxxs, AS-820/1000s and AL-3100/3200MCCs with little or no modification (depending on how picky you are),.
Gibson pickguards for P90 LPs will fit on AL-3xxxs, AS-820/1000s and AS-3100/3200MCCs but NOT AL-2xxxs. I just dealt with this a month or so ago...

I bought a Gibson spec lefty LP Deluxe pickguard for a AD-3200MCC from WD Music. I haven't yet attached it permanently, just threw a small piece of two sided tape on it for the picture. The top opening could use just a wee bit of attention to get it to fit better but it will definitely work:

I think the goldie i have is a 2500. I see they have measurement specs so that is a big help.

I don't have any AL2500 P90 guitars but I do have a few AL-2000 ones and the inside distance between the pickup routs is 3 1/8", that distance on a Gibson Deluxe/AL-3000 P90 is 2 7/8". The worst case scenario is i can send you a tracing of an AL-2000 P90 pickguard and you can try it yourself..
EDIT: If all you're interested in is functionality then I suppose the Gibson Deluxe pickguard will work but that gap between the lower edge and the bridge pickup as well as coming up short on the far side of it would drive me nuts:
