Front / back shell

No exact rear-shell fitment was verified.

Medium confidence

Click wheel

A1320 5th-generation Nano click-wheel/flex/center-button assembly; listing explicitly includes 8 GB and 16 GB variants, including Product RED MC049LL/A and MC074LL/A.

The linked assembly is white wheel with yellow center button; color is cosmetic, match the desired faceplate/button finish. No other-generation fitment is claimed.

Medium confidence

Screen / LCD

iFixit lists a generation-specific color LCD replacement for this Nano generation; its listing does not establish cross-generation interchange.

Match the generation and keep LCD distinct from front glass where sold separately.
