I don't think that's it - the MIM Standard in that diagram has the "regular" 5way switch, and I believe Xrays is asking about the "import" type switch.

Xrays, my first thought & suggestion is, if you solder this anyway, get that regular CRL/Oak-Grigsby switch, it's just so much more reliable and easier to work with (solderings...). (One caveat: some Squier models don't have deep enough routings for it.)
Then you could use a regular diagram, like this:
Seymour Duncan HSS Strat AutoSplit

Or play a round of "connect the numbers" and redraw that diagram:

+1

The same caution would apply if upgrading a Squier's pickups.

Measure the depth of your routs BEFORE ordering parts.

Why use import switch ? It is a cheap switch.

Jmatis you are right about the switch, we don't know witch guitar it is .
