the TTop in your Carvin is the earlier model. I think they switched from stickers to the stamped plate in either '75 or '76. My '74 Custom has the stickered TTops. It has the braided lead though, I see yours doesn't.

The Dirty Fingers is the one with the double row of adjustable screws. From the link that Kink56 provided, it appears they are high output. Yours is the first one I've seen. Maybe Kink56 or someone else can provide us with a bit more history on this pickup.
