If you observe the second photograph provided by Anderton's, you can just make out the P.W embossed between the locator pegs, a Roman numeral slightly further down and, possibly, the ratio 18:1 beyond the shaft.
Furthermore, all of the Fender/Schaller locking 'heads I have ever seen have a knurled edge on the thumbwheel and no legend on the back. The Ping West item has simpler, straight cut thumbwheel edges and the reversed F logo.
Ping West is precisely the sort of hardware that one might expect to find on a Fender American Special instrument. (Unfasten one of your stock non-locking 'heads. It will almost certainly also carry the P.W marking.)
Hopefully, the photographs are an error on the part of a web page layout artist and your sixty two Pounds buys you a set of genuine German-made machineheads. In your position, I would contact Anderton's to check before ordering.

I'm guessing even if theyre ping well then it'll be comparable in quality to what I've currently got on it, which is fine, I just discovered locking tuners on an Ibanez which I recently got, it has gotoh's but theyre so quick for restringing!
As far as I know Schaller never made locking tuners with the "F" logo, so "F" logo lockers are always Ping. But I could be wrong.
