Hi,

First of all, your CS 60 strat might have been loaded with other pickups than CS 60 pickups originally. Mine came stock with CS Fat 50s.

Now if it's supposed to have CS 60 pickups, it's difficult to tell for sure by looking at them (although close-up pictures of the pole pieces and bottom of the pickups would help).

However, one can tell that 60 pickups have staggered AND beveled pole pieces. If your pole pieces are not beveled, you don't have CS 60 pickups.
Unfortunatelly, there are 2 custom shop sets having staggered AND beveled pole pieces: 60 pickups and 57/62 pickups (loaded in american vintage strats for instance). I am not sure if there's a way to distinguish both sets.

Cheers,
