Fender Custom Shop Texas Special RWRP?

I have two Fender Custom Shop Texas Special pickups that I wired into my Squier Strat with a Humbucker in the Bridge (SD '59). They are the correct pickups for the positions they are in (neck and middle).

Something I noticed when I wired it up, was that I had to reverse the Black and Yellow on the middle pickup, otherwise at least one of the in-between positions would be thin and horrible (out of phase sounding).

Does this mean that the middle pickup is Reverse Wound, Reverse Polarity?

If so, then is there a way I should have wired it so that the in between positions are hum cancelling? I noticed when I tried a US Deluxe HSS Strat recently that it was Hum Cancelling on some of the Single Coil positions, which I liked as those Texas Specials really like to hiss and hum!

Yes the middle Texas Special is RWRP.

Hmmm, that might explain why I had to send the yellow to ground and the black to live.

So , seeing as my Single Coils are noisy in all positions, is there a way to wire this to take advantage of the RWRP?
