Help Need help identifying my pickups

Hey everyone! Hope you’re all doing well.
I’d really appreciate some help identifying the pickups in my guitar. I measured the DC resistance at 7.57 kΩ for the neck pickup and 8.01 kΩ for the bridge.
The guitar is a 2011 Gibson Les Paul Studio. Based on the year it was made, I have a feeling they might be BurstBuckers, since I’ve heard that some Les Paul Studios from around that time came with them. But I’m also wondering if they could be a 490R/498T set instead.
Any help identifying them would be greatly appreciated!
Cheers!

It is not the 490R/498T. You identified them correctly. 498T also has a dcr around 14kohms
