Dimarzio 2 wire humbucker identification

[mxaniac]

I have an old Dimarzio 2 wire (black and white, pretty heavy gauge) humbucker that measures 8.64 ohms. Someone has painted it beige so you'll see some of the residual in the pictures. I compared it to an original DP103 which I thought was fairly old and the DP103 was 4 wire, 7.95 ohms, and constructed much differently (i.e. screw poles through the bottom). It's much different than some Super Distortions I have as well. Any help in identifying it would be appreciated.

K-10 from Samick? I found it in a Mako Traditional Les Paul which despite all the internet hoopla about them being Japanese Matsumoku I'm about positive are really Samicks.

Dimarzio made some double slug OEM humbuckers for Hondo.

Yeah apparently Samick had Dimarzio make some pups that found there way in to Hondo, Mako, and who knows what else. I had been assuming it was aftermarket which is how I missed finding it when I first searched. It sounds like this is "voiced" for the neck position. I'm trying to decide what to put in a 93 LP Studio I'm putting together. I have an original DP103, the K-10, and Jazz on hand. I'm thinking Jazz in neck and DP103 in bridge might be a decent setup.
