Sounds to me like it has been re-wired with a p/p pot.
The Japanese '62 reissues I've had came with the vintage wiring setup.
Cheers,

Apart from the log pot on the middle tone control, I fitted a push/pull switch to bring the bridge pick up in and also rewired the bottom tone control so as to operate on the bridge pick up again, a la Jeff Beck.

Great wah wah effect playing a la Jeff Beck with very little movement of the knob. (6 inch thumb stretch required )
Pardon my French here, it's been pointed out that a certain portion of the 2nd sentence could be misconstrued.

I got all my three pickups on tone controls as well just nice to 'roll off on some numbers
Heres how to wire them if you wish to do it
