Recommendations for a neck PU

I’ve acquired a pretty beat up 66 Tele. I’m in the final stages of fettling it. Neither PU is original but Ive got a Seymour Duncan in the bridge position ( photos below). The neck PU is definitely not vintage or SD.
So I’m looking to put a SD in the neck and was thinking of buying an Antiquity II. Do you experts out there think I might have any issues with polarity or phase?

Its Seymours 54 version of Tele bridge pickup. So why not the matching neck pickup? One caveat: SD uses brass covers on the neck pickup.

Please post a pic of the neck pickup? We always like a mystery.
 
The neck pick up was put in by the guy I bought the guitar off as a ‘ make -do’ . It’s definitely nothing special. Any opinion regarding issues with phase or polarity?
 
The Antiquity II should be the same phase as your bridge pickup. It is like a great Tele neck pickup that was made in the 60s. If you want something closer to the early 50s sound (like the bridge), go for the Vintage Tele.
