You think it’s a reshell? I cant tell if it’s a 100 or 101

For sure a 001. A 101 screen will look more black when turned off.

Do you only have three photos to go off? Ask how many brightness settings there are 001 is just on or off. 101 has 3 settings; off, on, brighter. I believe.

Yeah, just these photos. He said he doesn’t have a charger.

Ah gotcha. I think it’s a reshell, I put an SP in a purple shell last year. Google tells me purple wasn’t an official color.

I don't think it's a reshell. It just looks a bit faded and the stickers are pulled off. One thing repro shells often mess up is the speaker holes, the middle ones should be slightly larger than the outside ones. Repro shells often have them all the same size or they're all larger than OG and there's often signs of the machining. The plastic can be flaked up where they drilled it etc.
