Measure the pickups, then find aftermarkets of the same or similar size. I'm guessing EMG 35 or 40 should be close.

Thanks guys,
Ill check EMG. This is the biggest problem "size" Every P/U I have found are to large. These are , by comparison quite small.
As to showing up on ebay I have seen Thunderbird 4 string often but yet to see 5 string pickups.

Dave his this super-helpful page on his website:

http://www.sgd-lutherie.com/pages/pickups_nd3.html

That may help you find the right form factor. His pickups get great reviews, too!
