Here's a set that is commonly used. Some have a style that looks like the Fender 70's style but without the Fender logo on the plate. Could be a direct replacement. Not sure I never tried to switch.

Matt is correct! Fender of Japan has used some where between seven to ten different tuners over the years. The type depends largely on the time period. Currently they are using around four different depending on the model. Re-issue model doesn't mean period correct tuners.
