Anyone able to ID these pickups and controls?

Picked up this fretless VM Squier Jazz, the pickups and controls look like they’ve been swapped out, though I’m not even sure about that. Can anyone help identify them? I can post more photos if it would be helpful. View attachment 4407000View attachment 4407003 View attachment 4407004
The magnets look like Alnico slugs which is great! Don’t know if that came stock? The control cavity looks like it had the pots, cap and output jack changed. It looks like the Taiwanese CTS pots with a switchcraft output Jack and orange drop cap. I would just leave it alone. Try it out those might be very good pick ups.

Well, huh . . .

Here are better pictures of mine. They do have that countersunk hole one of them is just upside down. The holes don’t have metal eyelets in them but have glue plugging holes.

Well I’m an idiot, I opened them back up and not only do the eyelets not have metal around them, the bridge doesn’t have the counterbore, haha!
