Authentic Fender '57/'62: How to tell?

Hi,

I was looking on the Net and found these, thought they might be a nice replacement for Tex-Mex in my 60th MIM Anniversary. The seller claims that these were taken from a CIJ '57 reissue.

If they were taken out from a 1991 MIJ Strat, would they be Fender 57/62s made in the USA? How do I know if these are the real deal?

Here are some pics. From the pics, they are not beveled.

If they're the stock pickups out of a '91 MIJ, they are most likely not 57/62's (mine werent). They're nice pickups, but they aren't US made. Check the leads on them, if they're not cloth, they're not the 57's.
