brown tortoise in guitar, and red tortoise is loose
some retailers label them backwards, so you got that too.

in case you deal with another seller, you can google "brown tortoise pickguard" and see what images show up.
I tend to like red on my 2tsb bodies. Brown looks good on natural finishes. I've gotten the switcheroo too. I'm not buying it.
