The simple answer for just the saddles upgrade is: get a (digital with inch/fractions/mm's reading) caliper and measure your current saddle width.
BTW, old saddles can almost every time be fixed with cleaning & polishing & (in most severe cases) replating.

If you need to replace the whole bridge, measure the string spacing (lowE string center to highE string center), and your mounting screw spacing (outmost holes center to center). Older MIJ's have variances; string spacings can be 2 1/16" (more common) or 2 7/32" (rare). The mounting screw spacing can be 2 1/16", 2 1/8" or 2 7/32".
But anyways, expect to do some filling/redrilling/fitting if you replace the whole bridge. Drop-in replacements seldom exist.
