Odd 4 hole neck bolt pattern on new Jazzmaster

I just bought a new left handed Fender American Pro II Jazzmaster body. I'm now on the hunt for a suitable neck.

My understanding is that Strat necks are suitable for JMs.

One thing I'm unsure about - the Jazzmaster body doesn't utilise the standard Fender 4 bolt pattern. One of the bolts is offset, apparently related to the contour on the AmPr II neck.

Here's the body:

I'm thinking that this shouldn't prevent me from using a JM/Strat neck with the standard 4 bolt pattern, but I'm hoping to get confirmation and/or advice from the pros.

Thanks
