Front / back shell
A1236 front-faceplate assembly is available in red and is listed for all 3rd-generation Nano models, including red order MB257LL/A; rear shell fitment is unverified.
Faceplate, wheel, center button, and flex cable are an assembly listing; color is specific. This does not establish rear-case interchange.
Medium confidence
Click wheel
A1236 3rd-generation Nano click-wheel assembly; seller explicitly lists all 3rd-gen models, including red order MB257LL/A.
Wheel/center-button/front-faceplate colors are finish-specific; the listing includes separate red, black, white, and aqua variants. Do not infer 4th-generation compatibility.
