Mystery Seymour pickup, Help identify ?!

Hello, this is my first ever post and I have a question. I have aquired an old strat with a Seymour Duncan in the bridge. the pickup is a single coil space with two rails. The rails are split silver, and white. Seymour Duncan is written on the face side which is white. The wires are white, red, and plain silver. I have searched the site and cant find this pickup. I realize cosmetics can change, however, the wiring is what really throws me off. Is it a hot, vintage, cool rail ???
Also, can it be split coil? How? I notice all modern S.D. rail pickups are four conducter
Thanks

VIntage rails by exclusion... all others have 4 conductor wiring... the White/ silver split rails are the other giveaway ;)

Old vintage rails + duckbuckers cannot be split, they´re wired internally in parallel....new ones are IIRC also 4-cond.

Thanks man, that also explains why this thing is not so hot. I appreciate the quick reply
