That's probably a tapped single coil not a stacked single coil because all of the windings are in the same direction and the two sections aren't divided.

ok if its a tapped coil how do you test readings and what should the output be ?

test the white and black, i'd imagine in the 6K range somewhere.
The red should be lower with the ground tap .

white and black no reading
red and black 7.60
white and red no reading

So red and black is the full coil.
Not sure why the no reading on the other.

At 7.6 it might be half of a tapped SSL-3.

On my SSL-6T the black / red is the tap.
