Then there's this Mystery Telecaster - could that be the one from the Washington footage

Okay so these are the screenshots I managed from that clip -
if someone has better shots from before the switch please post them!
Because [peering hard] that really does look like the rosewood Tele - but WHY?!

The black Tele Keith was using for Not Fade Away on the first leg of the Voodoo Lounge Tour have a very special bridge and what looks like two P90 pickups, so it's for certain not the same guitar as he played in 1981/82.If it's even a Fender, it must be from their Custom Shop. But if it's fitted with a pair of P90, it explains why he at least in Europe was playing a LP Junior for Not Fade Away.
The black Tele is easy to see here, from Miami:

That's correct.

That's not a Fender, but Tom Henderson Cobra.

I see that Mathijs has already said - way back on page 21 of this thread -
that the 1994 Not Fade Away guitar was a Henderson Cobra

The tour where Mick went left-handed? :E
It would be good to find an untampered-with version of that shot before deciding which guitar it is ...

It's not a Cobra, but must be Drop Short T as it got the volume- and toneknobs almost the same as on a Fender Telecaster:

Just to be sure -
The light mahagony bodied TELE with rosewood neck is a '68 Fender Rosewood Neck with a body made by Newman Jones. Keith used it on the 78 tour on Love in Vain, and in 1981 on Let's Spend and Waiting on a Friend. After the first couple of shows the guitar was send to Roger Giffin, then of Schecter guitars. A new Rosewood body was made, and new Schector electronics and hardware where added. Richards used this guitar for the remainder of the tour for Let's Spend and WOAF. The only time it is seen again is on the cover of the Talk is Cheap album.

We now learned that the pickups are not Schecter, but Seymour Duncan's.

pretty wild about ROGER GIFFIN , Who in 1992 put back together my early 70's Gibson Les Paul Custom when he was head of the Gibson West Coast Custom Shop in Los Angeles .Really good guy , who made me a very happy customer in regards to my childhood electric guitar that I had completely and utterly beat the living crap out of it and then some .To look at it today you would never even know the abuse that it took and still kept rocking all because "Only a GIBSON is good Enough" (actual GIBSON marketing slogan )Quote
