Need Help Identifying Older Single Coil

I'm in need of some identifying assistance. I got this pickup from eBay, and the description said it was a "Rare Vintage Seymour Duncan Stacked Single Coil Pickup - Marked 2BJ", and that it came from an early 80's Strat (he specified that it could be from the late 70's). I loved the [plastic] red cover on it, so I bought it for an Ibanez project. I'm the kind of guy that loves specifics on pickups and humbuckers, so I went searching for this specific model based on what the description said. To my surprise, I couldn't find anything on it. I found various versions of stacked single coils, but nothing that depicts something along the lines of "stacked single coil model 2B". I tried the pickup identifier on the Seymour Duncan website, but also had zero luck there. I found out that the "J" in "2BJ" normally stands for the person's name that wound the pickup.

I'm including some pictures so that someone with a little more knowledge than I can help me pinpoint the exact model this is. I can't put it into the Ibanez without a few more parts, so I would love to know a little more on the history in case there's a sound demo of it on YouTube to get an idea of what it'll probably sound like once it's put into it.

Any help would be very appreciated!

You're probably convinced by the other posts, but just to make sure, I think it's a Hot Stack too ;)

Trevor Rabin uses one in the middle position of his famous 90215 Strat. It has a great sound. But I don't know if it sounds like a Strat, it is so hot.
