Re: Does this diagram produce these results?
I'm not happy about the two auto coil split wires meeting at the wiper/collector terminal on the upper pole of the selector switch.
If we call the wiper terminal #1, I would want the split cable from the bridge pickup at terminal #2 and the split cable from the neck pickup at terminal #4. The coil split ground cable would work equally well at terminal #1 or 3.

If the two series links are, themselves, linked, one coil from each hum-cancelling pickup will be always be operational whenever either of them is selected via the lever switch.
In simple terms, three coils will be contributing to the overall output.

I understand this part and can visualize it...
But I don't follow along exactly on this part.

the only thing i would say is the the tone pot wiring on the original diagram is wrong, capacitors legs are attached to the middle lug of the tone pot and the ground, then a wire is placed connecting the right lug (if looking straight at pot, lugs facing you) to either the middle or left lug of the volume (same viewpoint, {wire going to left lug is standard, wire going to middle lug is vintage 50s wiring})

Either way of running a signal feed to a tone pot will work.
Famously, the capacitor-sharing, two pot Tone control circuit of a vintage Stratocaster manages to use both connection methods in the one instrument.
