Ok, I think I have worked out what the neck pickup in Adrian's LP Goldtop Deluxe is.
Adrian has stated that the neck pickup is from a Firebird. It isn't. Here is a photo of an unmodded 1972 Les Paul Deluxe that was for sale in Germany:
What's important is that Gibson only stamped the pickup covers with "Gibson" in 1972. Also, when the neck and bridge pickups are installed in positions where they were designated to be, the "Gibson" stamp on the covers faces the same way. Here is Adrian's LP in it's "stock" days, during Urchin or very early days with Maiden.

As you can see, both mini humbuckers on the LP are stamped. Which means that Adrian's LP Deluxe is a '72. Now, the "Gibson" stamps are going upwards if we look from bridge up. Screw polepieces are where they should be.
Now, here is a photo from the Gangland playthrough video.

You can see that the "Gibson" stamp is still facing the right way. However, screw polepieces are now on the other side. We know that Adrian's LP had soapbar Super Distortions in the Killers era, so both pickups were removed. It was routed for a full bridge humbucker in the bridge position before TNOTB and the neck position was filled by... The original BRIDGE pickup. So, contrary to what Adrian said previously (it being a Firebird pickup), the neck pickup in the goldtop is in fact the guitar's original bridge pickup.
