As far as I know, Fender never produced any guitars with different tuners, other than those with a hipshot tuner on the low E for drop tunings. Somehow I don't think that's what you have here though. Do you have the number of the listing from ebay?

do you mean two completely different tuning machines? or do some just have shorter posts. Shorter posts are fine and are made that way to improve string tension on the lower gauge strings. If they are completely different machines, then they've probably been replaced. Up to you if you think its worth changin them out to match.
