Hello friends!
Need a help to identify this pups.
Took off from a 2000 Fat Texas Stratocaster (with the pearly gates in the bridge)
the pickups are marked (not by me) with a white mark for the neck pickup and red mark for the middle pickup and "EC" letters are on each pickup.
I found that this is could be a hotter version of the CS texas special, but I want to make sure before I post it for sell. please assist :]

AFAIK, they are "regular" Texas Specials - I'm not aware of any "special" version made for the LoneStars or US (Fat) Texas Strats. (There was an extra hot bridge TS-pickup found e.g. on some limited edition Strats of that era, but that's another story.)
The readings (which BTW can vary somewhat, even on same pickups but different temperature etc...) would fit the regular ones. The red/white position markers are different from the TS-typical red/none/blue ID-dots, but if the stagger & beveling don't say otherwise, I'd call those Texas Specials.

The EC initials this time have no connection to Clapton. They occasionally pop up on Fender pickups from that era, and xhefri writes on his pages that they may belong to the person who wound the pickups.

Thanks. Can you give more source to clearfy this?

Any one with more details?

The pickup with the yellow-and-black lead wires is reverse-wound/reverse-polarity, typically found in many Fender pickup sets (including the Fat 50's). It's commonly intended for the middle position in a Strat pickguard.
