What are the correct pickups for a 2004 Historic 1959 ES335 (Nashville)?

Did these come with Gibson’s fake bumble bee caps (Wescaps)?

Thank you in advance.

The correct pickups for a 2004 Historic 1959 ES335 are '57 Classics and the capacitors should be "223" ceramic disks.

Question: who was the manufacturer of these caps ?

Correct, Gibson (for whatever reason) did not switch over the Historic ES-335s to the "new" pots and replica bumbleebee caps until circa 2006. Pre-2006 still used the old "Gibson" embossed pots and ceramic caps.
