Original 1960's P90's?

Just picked up a short neck 330, and could use some help with identifying the pickups. Most items on the guitar appear to be original. Lots of play wear, no major trauma other than a possible headstock repair. Appreciate the help. Here's some pics:

Why do you suspect they’re possibly not original?

Condition and price - however, its in much better shape than I thought, and I'm pretty sure these are 60's P90s and original now. I've been working on the action and intonation all day, and working the controls, great guitar. Can't wait to gig it this weekend, hoping feedback won't be an issue.

I thought I'd add, this guitar lived up in a live setting. I definitely get the P90 affinity, and these were reasonably quiet and smooth, very versatile from clean to mean. Really enjoying this six string.
