What Precision bass pickup do I have?

Question about a Precision pickup....

I bought a pickup listed as Fender Original'63 (and other parts to build a bass), but apparently that there’s no such thing. As far as I can tell Fender made Orginial'62s and CS’62s and PureVintage'63s, Is there really an Original'63?

The 62s have a resistance spec of 10.5K and the 63s spec 12K. Mine is 11.1K!

Is there a way to tell for sure what I have?
In the likely event that I resell the assembled bass I want to have it right.

I guess the main thing is that it sounds pretty much like I thought it would. :)

Thanks.
