Pearly Gates with rounded baseplate?

[smd]

This pickup is being advertised as a Pearly Gates, but the rounded baseplate made me wary; I'd not seen any SD's with that shape before.
I've since been reading how this style baseplate is typical of the Trembucker.
Has anyone seen the rounded corners on other pickups?
Thanks.

Yes!
it's normal for a TREMBUCKER/f-spaced Duncan humbucker

Thanks ToneFiddler.
So it's an F spaced pearly gates, obvious now!
In hindsight, bit of a dumb question!
But this used pickup market is a bit of a minefield!

You can easily spot duncan trembuckers by the 3 holes on the mounting legs also.

well if it really is an Pearly gates is not confirmed. maybe some DCR readings can confirm that.
The sticker with the modelname is missing

Thanks for confirming that.
Well. I'm looking out for a regular spaced pearly gates (or similar), so at least I can can rule this one out!
