SD used to make production pickups in double cream, and advertised it in the early 80's. Most pickups were using the single conductor braided wire during this time as well.

Did I miss a shot of the stickers?

The taping doesn't look SDish either, I support the theory that these are replacement coils.

Re: what pups are these?(pics)

Only the more recent pickups are 4-conductor, older pickups were 1 lead plus shield, later they became 3-lead plus shield and finally 4-conductor.

It is very possible these are a quite old APII set (neck and bridge)
