Jap pots like Alpha have fewer splines but are deeper whilst the CTS and other USA made ones have more splines with less depth.
Be careful trying to put them on CTS post as they will often crack as you force them on . The plastic splines are deeper than the ones on CTS pots so you can improve your chances with making them fit by carefully trimming back the plastic with a reamer or a carefully chosen drill bit that will just reduce the size of the splines. It will still be tricky but it will improve your chances of it working out
Many guitars have a re-sale value. Some you'll never want to sell.

The older lates 70s ones had a rubber insert (I preferred the look) but over a long time the rubber grip bands would get slack or perish and come off

Would the Sure Grip 3 knobs fit on EMG solderless pots ok or are they likely to be the same as CTS?
The Sure Grip III looks like it's an 18 spline knob, I found a photo of one and counted them.
I just counted the splines on my EMG pots and there's 9 either side of the split shaft, making 18.
EDIT: I just counted the splines on the volume pot that came installed in my Ibanez Iron Label and that's 18 splines as well. Hold the EMG pot beside it and they look identical.....
