Japanese magazine Weekly ASCII shared some new close-up photos of a yellow version of this plastic rear shell, showing it in good detail. The website also placed the shell alongside an iPhone 5 for comparison.
The design continues to show a screw hole layout consistent with leaked iPhone 5S logic boards, suggesting that both the iPhone 5S and the lower-cost iPhone may share very similar logic board designs.

Of course there is no confirmation that this rear shell is a genuine one leaked from Apple's supply chain, and the sheer number of photo leaks from various sources suggests that some of these parts may simply be unauthorized replacement parts.
Still, these shells are appearing in significant quantities standardized around a common design that is consistent with long-running rumors of Apple's plans for their next device. There is a good chance that these parts offer a good representation of what Apple's lower-cost iPhone will look like.
