These are the pickups I personally put into my 1974 Les Paul! They are the result of painstaking research of those legendary PAF pickups in the old 58/59 burst Les Paul Standards (of which Mark Knopfler is lucky to own two).
They are probably the best available pickups for the Mark Knopfler Les Paul sound. Not cheap but such a quality has its price (and you get them for the best price here).
The version I offer is the one with aged nickle covers - like Knopfler's... (when comparing prices note that the version without cover is cheaper).
Here some info from the manufacturer:
The "Häussel-1959" model gives you that legendary old PAF sound, still sought-after by professionals the world over. Manufactured with original wire, original-sized magnets and our optimally-matched winding, this pickup will captivate you with its silky, 'woody-warm' sound - on chord work, the sound of each string is clearly defined, while the overall sound is breezy and slightly nasal, but never muddy. The extremely agreeable, sweet highs make each tone a desirable delicacy for sound gourmets, while solos become a symphony of soaring sonic satisfaction. The 1959 model 'smacks' beautifully each time you strike the strings, gliding effortlessly into harmonic overtones and feedback. This is a pickup with a powerful 'hook' -and perfect if you want to get that truly authentic PAF sound.
