Can anybody help me with narrowing down what I understand are DiMarzio pickups? I thought Super Distortions and one of our chaps on here (@SteveRobinson) thought, as they're four-conductor (three coloured cables and a shielded one), thought they might be dual sounds. However, the rating of them comes out (when using a multimeter on tip-sleeve of a cable) shows around 8.5k each.
Any DiMarzio experts know what they might be? The base plates aren't original, I believe, which I understand isn't uncommon.

Flip them over, they may even have a DP number that tells you the model.
@Sweepy - are they well though-of pickups? Toying with switching them anyway but keen to know what it has. Not that they don't sound good, it's that eternal quest of making things as good as they can be...

they would have square feet, DP numbers came much later.
there were a few makers doing similar at the time, brain says Schaller are another possibility but I don’t totally trust that memory

The reason I thought they were DiMarzio is the 3 conductor cable with the loose braid which is pretty typical of early DiMarzio pickups but from teh images linked to above it looks as if Mighty Mite did too?
@ICBM is pretty knowledgeable about this stuff.
