Replacement 'Duncan Designed' pickups?

The p pickup on my VM Jaguar developed a break. I'd like to replace it with the same part. Any idea what part number or where to get one? This is the older passive Jag with the stacked pots. Thanks.

I have a P-bass pickup set removed from a Squier Vintage Modified Precision. It says Duncan Design on top and PB101 on the underside. Virtually unused. If this is the exact replacement you are looking for, maybe we could work something out. I could send you an ohmeter reading of them. I believe these PB101's have Alnico 5 magnets and are wound a little "hotter" than those Fender originals (also Alnico 5). Send me a personal message if these are the pickups...

Wound up going with a quarter pounder.

I tried a Fender 'original', but problem was it was out of phase with the j pickup. Couldn't swap the leads as one was electrically tied to the ground. I could have tried swapping the leads on the j pickup, but then found the quarter pounder and I think that's a better match anyway.
