Is this original?

Interesting push pull option. Looks like the original (gen 1) 5 way rotary switch with the last option, (bridge alone) to be single coil whe the push pull is activated. You can verify this by going to the last setting on the 5 way and play something and then engage the push pull and see if it goes to a single coil type sound (thinner or more highs, like a Strat).
 
Yes it does do more of a single coil tone with the push pull up. In fact, when it is in the up position, positions 2 and 3 (I believe) on the rotary go silent. So when the push pull is up the rotary only makes sound on 3 out of the 5 positions.

Makes sense. The last 3 are when the bridge pickup is active. The push pull effectively makes it a single coil. I guess the guy before you wanted a single coil bridge sound without changing the pickup. Novel idea. If you want, you can put it all back original. If you like it, the did you a favor.
