You know, I was trying to figure out what they called those pickups!!!

That molded .1uf capacitor is from the 1960'S My guess is it had a DeArmond pickup DeArmond numbered products
I just missed out on a Gibson Johnny Smith 1963 double pickup all gold hardware mint My friend Betsy gave it to her brother
You could get this but will have to cut the pick guard to fit. Johnny Smith Pickguard Mount
Plug the holes and a new pick guard is the way I would go.

This is just one of many old vintage pieces that pass through my little workshop...but I dont share photos unless the client approves in advance.
I have closely examined the build tag and it appears to be a legitimate Blackstone with a '559**' serial number.
