Mysterious Jazz bass pickups

I bought used pickups last year, advertised as "Fender Original Vintage '74 jazz pickups", in a factory box. Bridge pickup had some visible resoldering, but worked and they sounded nice to me, so I kept them.
Well, it's time to sell them and finance another folly, but looking at online photos - mine don't look right. I don't want to trick anyone, so I need help getting the right ID on these. They measure 7.23 and 6.83 Kohms, and these numbers seem vintage and 70' to me.

Flatwork has imprinted number 0486, which I guess is the production year? And there are handwriten 47C and 48B codes. Wires are plastic, not cloth-wrapped (that raised my suspicion).
I am looking for a positive ID or any hint what these could be!
 
To me those pickups look similar to ones I pulled out my Squier VM 70 JazzBass.

Definitely your pickups are not Fender Pure Vintage 74 Jazz Bass.

Here are my Squier VM 70 J pickups and you see for yourself.:
