Yes, that looks like original pickups. Might have been replaced at some point, but as far as I can tell those are Kawasaki parts.

You have a 650 csr, right? If so, pickups (or pulsing coil, as Kawasaki calls them) from the following models would fit your application:
KZ650-H1 (CSR) (1981)
KZ650-H2 (CSR) (1982)
KZ750-E1 (1980)
KZ750-E2 (1981)
KZ750-E3 (1982)
KZ750-H1 (LTD) (1980)
KZ750-H2 (LTD) (1981)
KZ750-H3 (LTD) (1982)
1976 Z750 B1
1980 Z1000 MkII A4

Looks right to me too.
Take it from me cuz I found
If you leave it then somebody else is bound,
To find that treasure, that moment of pleasure,
When yours, it could have been.

They will look pretty new after 20+ years being sealed up with gasket and cover. Looks factory to me too.

One clue is the rotor style (stock metal pointer) as contrasted with Dyna'S' embedded magnet style rotor.
