Sprague cap looks correct, braided wire looks correct, Centralab pot 27th week 1960, 2nd pot you would need a dentist mirror to get a pic of the code on the side. Really can't tell about the solder joints.

Only have a pic. The solder joint looks a little shiny, but I'm not sure. one pot has markings, the other doesnt. Looks like a black beauty cap.
Thought?

thanks in advance

As most of the Les Paul Jr have 500k volume pots and 250k tone pots, it is not anormal to have different pots.
I don't see any evidence of anything having been messed with.
