Help Identifying A Pickup

CMW335CMW335 Frets: 2059
Hi Guys,

I just acquired a nice 1980s 335 in a trade with a friend which has a changed bridge pickup. My friend believes it's possible it could be a later sixties paf patent sticker number with the sticker missing. Wonder if any of you eagled eyed experts on here can tell with any degree of certainty from the pics I have.

    Does the neck/Rhythm position pickup look any different underneath?
    You say, atom bomb. I say, tin of corned beef.

    Based partly on what TGW posted and my own observations, I suspect that the bridge/Treble humbucker above could be an old DiMarzio PAF. 

    The flat head bobbin fastening screws are one clue. The oversized hole in the baseplate for the output cable is another. The braid on Dimarzio cable is slightly different to Gibson braid. It is possible that the output cable is two-con + braid to ensure phase compatibility with other pickups.

    A top view of the two pickups might help. DiMarzio screw heads are slightly different to Gibson.
