just measured between my strings and they are about 52 at the bridge and 50 at the neck pickups.

Am i right im presuming i need TB pickups or F spaced?
 
Re: Some more advice

yes

standard spacing works
but if you want the poles and strings to line up then yes

the trembucker has a spacing of about 52mm center to center for the outside poles
the F-spaced has a spacing of about 51mm center to center for the outside poles
the standard spacing of a humbucker is 49mm center to center for the outside poles

Duncan doesnt offer neck pickups in Trem spaced
and while Dimarzio does, the F-spaced versions fall just 1mm outside the strings
as the standard falls just 1mm inside

bridge needs to be F or trem spaced
neck , well, either or will work

if your concerned bout sound more than looks then
you could make em both standard as the sound or tone isnt really affected

I would just choose what pickup you want, then look for the cheapest one you can get on ebay or whatever. If it's not trem spaced, I wouldn't worry. I'd rather save some cash than bother with a small cosmetic issue.
