When it comes to plastic bobbin Fender Stratocaster pickups from the 90s early 2000s.
Are all the plastic bobbin pups the same thing or didt they have different winds on the same bobbins?
They have gold poly wire.
The 2 pictured are from my classic series 70s strat. My 2004 Amr Standard had these same plastic bobbin pups.
Never ohmed my Amr std but these ones are 5.7k
Any info.

Not sure to understand the question but recent plastic bobbin Strat PU's, with poly insulated wire, are not the same IME for different positions. The bridge PU as I know it measures around 7.5k and has screws added in the square holes from the bottom, between the rod magnets, in order to increase the inductance. Mid and neck ones measure +/- what you mention (like 6k / 2.3H unplugged and 5.75k / 2.2H with pots).

These plastic bobbin things might be the Strat single coils with the highest Q factor I've ever measured, BTW.
 
I dunno. I liked the ones in my 2004 Amr Std I no longer have that guitar.
These ones here I havent heard in 20yrs I just got this axe back and it was in rough shape. The harness was scavenged out of it and replaced with an Amazon harness and the medical tubing was rotted so the pups were flopping around. So I didnt even plug it in. Just disected and ordered parts.
