Squier bass nut - flat-bottomed or curved ?

I would like to replace the stock nuts on my 3 Squier basses ( Jazz bass Standard Model, CV 50's Precision, and CV 60's Precision). Does anyone on here know if these are flat bottomed or curved nuts ?? I don't want to remove them until I have parts "in hand". In the past I have used real bone nuts on my basses - not really looking for plastic or graphite. Any help is appreciated !!
 
I purchased a LH Squier Precision bass (had both P and J pickup configuration) to complete my "Frankenbass" project, to use the LH neck on a RH Precision Body. So I had to turn the nut around...it turns out to be a Jazz type neck by the way....and the nut is flat bottomed. I measured the width of the slot in the fingerboard and it is about as close to 1.50 inches as I can measure. Went to 3 music stores today and no one had a match for it. I ended up buying a black graphite nut, had the flat bottom, but it is not quite thick enough and slightly too wide....It will do for now. But I am not finding any good replacement on StewMac, etc . The TUSQ XL nuts for Jazz bass are curved bottomed. Will keep looking...
