The original 72 deluxe tele had 'Wide Range' pickups designed by Seth Lover. They used CuNiFe rod magnets and sounded different to standard humbuckers. They had a bit more highs and lows, hence the 'wide range' name. Yes they were a physically a little bigger.

The re-issues have standard Alnico pickups built the Gibson way under a 'wide range' cover.

i think rio grande make replacements for wide range sized humbucker holes. the fender ones are ok, but nothing special and nothing like the originals... which sound massive, fat and quite strangely very fendery at the same time
