Which pickups in my 92 Classic?

I just picked up a 92 Classic. I know the bridge pickup is a 500t because it ohms at 15k, says gibson USA on the back and is hotter than @%^*$%$. My neck pickup has a stamped pat # on it, ohms at about 8.5K and is super smooth and sweet. Is this a 496R? or ? Can anyone tell me the production numbers of Classics, expecially 1992 model? Any chance this is a brazilian? It sure has a sweet fretboard. This has the nicest neck I've played. Even better than my 75 Wine red Custom. Thanks for listening...Well... not better than the 75 - Almost identical really

I know they used that backing plate (leftovers) for 57 Classic, 490s 498s, 496s, 500s! It SHOULD be a 496R in there. Check the magnet, that will give us a clue. Those backing plates first appeared in 1974. They were used for T-Tops, Shaws and others. I have a 57 Classic with that backing plate. It would not be BRW.....but IRW.

When I pulled the pickups out of my 92 Classic, Same thing , the backing plate was blank, Nothing, nada , but the 500T , Gibson embossed , After I change the magnets in that 500T I am going to stick it in something else
