Loooking for advice on type of wood on my violin fittings

I will travel overseas in the summer and need a declaration of materials for my instrument. There are certain types of materials that are forbidden to travel with and require certain papers, which are really hard to acquire.
There is a lab where I live where they test the wood to see which species it is but it costs of course a nice amount of money. That is why I want to get your opinion first to see if it makes sense to even pay that money.
This is an old violin with its probably original fittings from the 19th century and it is definetly rosewood. The big question is which one?

Thank you all for your time!
