Wiring a Jazz and JB like a PRS Coil Tap with Treble Bleed

Hi, I'm going to be wiring in a Jazz neck And JB bridge into my PRS S2 McCarty 594 and I want to wire in a coil tap like PRS does (not a full split)
I'd be using the .047 cap like its wired in according to Seymour Duncans following diagram.(is the .047uf cap a treble bleed or is it doing something else?)
Also wanted to ask, in the following diagram from Seymour Duncan and the other attached image, Am I right in assuming that the capacitors (PRS .022uf and SD .047uf) are doing the same thing in each diagram? They are just pictured and connected a little different way. Is the PRS diagram(capacitor) a treble bleed without the resistor?
Was going to add a treble bleed across the Volume pots. Would the following wiring work? I am just wondering if my added treble bleed is doing the same thing as the SD pictured .047uf capacitor?
I've butched the SD diagram a bit to show the resistors added to the Push/pull tonepots and illustrated my treble bleed idea in the picture I added on the side.

On the Duncan diagram, the .o47uf caps are simple tone control caps. They determine how much treble you dump to ground. Treble bleed caps go across the volume pot terminals as your figure on the top right shows.
