IMO it is a cost cutting or "new design" .

First picture is a packaging since many years , second picture must be new packaging .

Are pickups are exactly same over the years ? I don't know.

I'm sure they are the same, look on the packages for the specs of the pickups. If they don't match then it's time to start asking questions. Start with someone who works at the shop.

They're exactly the same, just different packaging. The top pic is the new look for these.

You mean the bottom pic, the one without the strat pic, is the newer packaging?
