Help with Washburn N24 wiring

I'm trying to replace the dull Washburn neck pickup in my N24 with a Duncan Jazz. But, I want to be sure what I have before I start disconnecting things. What I'm seeing doesn't match any of the wiring diagrams that I'm finding online. It's 2 Humbucker, 1 push/pull volume for coil split, 3 way toggle. The diagrams are only showing wires soldered to 4 of the 6 spots on the push/pull pot. But mine has wires soldered to all 6. The gray wire that I'm holding is the neck pickup wire. It appears to have a black grounded to the pot, a green and a red soldered to the far right lug of the push/pull, and a white soldered to the far left lug of the push/pull.

That tape looks odd. Perhaps someone was changing things up in there before you. My advice: Just start over with one of the very excellent drawings located on the Seymour Duncan website. Also, swap in some new pots while your in there and orange drop caps. Talking cheap money for quality parts.

Would help to take a meter and start measuring the neck pickup wires to identify which is which.

That's a low end looking pot. Swap it out. It will be a good time to totally re-wire and clean up that rat's nest.

I think the key here is figuring what the wire colors are on the original pickup, and translating that to Duncan's colors.

It's a brand new Washburn N24 guitar. I ordered a Bourns 500K push pull to replace the stock one.
