I think they are just labelled "American Standard Single Coil", there's no specific name such as the newer "fat 50's"

I have the same in my '10 American Standard. I really like them, can get some sweet clean tones as well as some cool overdriven ones without losing clarity. I tried out one of the newer Standards and didn't overly care much for the Fat 50's.

Those "American Strat" singles were AlNiCo 5s with custom staggered poles.

thanks for the reply,
So I can adjust the distance from the strings
as indicated in the user manual chapter pickups
--------------------
"Standard single-coil" -------- (bass side) 2 mm (5/64”) (high side) 1,6 mm (4/64”)
---------------------

thanks for this information
I did not know this ...
the poles of the pickups are some higher and some lower
even if it is not possible to adjust them individually (so are factory setup)
