Identifying Duncan active pickups

I bought three SD active pickups used and the guy who sold these to me said these are all blackouts. The neck one is for certain AHB1-N as it says in the backside of the pickup but what about the two other..? Both have wires AND quick connect pins. Other says "IVG26 - ROHS, BLCK-HB-B-20070524" and one is completely blank from backside (see pics below). What are these two other pickups and why there's "normal" wires AND quick connect pins..?
Thanks!

The top one has a hybrid differential preamp, so it's a Blackout. Can't speak for the other one though. And I believe (I won't swear to it though) that early Blackouts didn't have the quick connect system.

Ok thanks Chistopher! So the top one is most likely Blackout bridge pickup, but if I connect it with the quick connector should I just leave the wire hanging inside the guitar / cavity? Can it be that there has been both options for connecting the pickup in some early blacouts, quick connect and soldering?

I've never seen a set of Blackouts like that, but I'd assume you wouldn't have to connect the traditional type wires if you were using the quick connect system.
