I've not measured the pickups but the Maxon MMK75 are supposed to be PAF type humbucker, generally of the same output brdge and neck. According to a forum post I came across, they're Alnico II and supposed to measure sub 8k. Reference.
Routes:
The Bridge route goes into the centre block, presumably to allow for the massive shielded pots and harness to be fed into place with less difficulty than through the F hole. Curiously there is a factory installed woodscrew to Edit: align the neck joint.
Gibson might do well to use something similar...

This isn't something I've ever done by the way, I've just read that it's what it was for... and it is certainly true that all the Japanese manufacturers seem to be able to get better accuracy of the neck angle than Gibson do
