Question: closest stack/rails pickups to Alnico II Pro single tone?

So...

...I have a G&L George Fullerton model that I've been enjoying for years with its pickup loadout that includes (all SD, naturally) a Li'l Screamin' Demon in the bridge position and a pair of Alnico II Pro singles in the neck/middle positions. I just got a used Warmoth "super Strat" axe that has a JB in the bridge and a couple of really trebly Dimarzio singles. All the pickups might be changed, but the singles are first priority. Which of the single-sized humbuckers sound closest to the Alnico II Pro singles?

All help is very gratefully appreciated.

Well, nothing is super close, but the Classic Stack Plus might be a candidate. It is a little louder, a little brighter, but the EQ profile is similar.

I'm not sure what's in it now, I'm going off the guesswork of the previous owner. I'm gonna crack it open once I've killed its current set of strings.

He thinks the bridge PU is a JB, which I can see is not a trembucker, so I'll be replacing that as well...but the existing singles are too bright, and don't match up well to the tone of the humbucker. I intend to use this guitar a ton with my cover band, so I need to make some adjustments.
