Middle pickup has black/yellow wires.

Fat '50s? or Texas Special? Or something else?

Welcome, Tom.

It is either of the two you've outright named. Based on the color of the bobbins and the coils, I'm inclined to believe they are Texas Specials. If you can take an ohms reading of each of the pickups, I could tell you for sure.

OK. It says:

Neck: 5.98
Middle: 6.21
Bridge: 6.80

Do you know which pickups I have? Thanks for your help.

Fat 50s are 6.0, 6.3, and 6.2

Texas Specials are 6.2, 6.5, and 6.5 to 7.1

Given some tolerance I would say they are Texas Specials.
