No, Fender never did.

I don't know where the JV bit comes in either. The JV Squier site has made it pretty clear that some of the early JV strats were fitted with US made pickups, but none of the other models were.

I think Johnston's right - they've got red bobbins so the guy figures they've got to be Fender pickups.
