What kind of Tuning Peg Holes are these?

I pulled a set of corroded looking Schallers off of my Ibanez Destroyer, and was looking for some locking tuners that would fit the same tuning peg diameter and screw pattern. I was surprised to find an extra hole drilled under the tuners. I'm thinking the middle holes on the left are for Sperzels or Shallers pegs; do any of you guys know what tuners these holes are for?
The ones on the bottom right are the screw holes from the Schaller M6's I just took off. The Schallers that were on there are pretty old, worn and don't stay in tune very well. I'm not sure what was on there originally, but I'd like to replace them with some good locking tuners that won't require drilling any more holes. I think the previous owner replaced them with the Schallers to have something that looked more like the originals...or decided to keep them when he sold the guitar.

Im pretty sure the holes in line with main tuning machine body holes are from Sperzels. They mount with a single locating peg pretty much in that exact spot. The only thing that sucks is that if you go back to Sperzels, the angled hole from the M6's is gonna show. If thats not a concern, Id go back to the Sperzels.
WAY better of a tuner, IMO.

Ahhh...cool, I thought they might be Sperzels; I've heard they're good. I just took the finish down today with some steel wool. I'm gonna fill in the holes from the Schallers and do some research on refinishing, before I tackle working on the headstock; it needs some love, as it's got a few spots where the wood is exposed.

thanks for the help,
