This is the closest thing that I can show as a Mosrite sock. It came with the guitar when it was purchased by my brother in 1965 but I don't have a clue of it's origin. Looks professionally made. Well, at least it did when it was new. This guitar is now in my collection.

No, I came close but decided not to. I didn't want to risk cracking the finish as I know the plate has never been off the guitar. It has the screw on cover plate. It was even hard for me to de-solder the rear pickup to remove it and send off for rewinding. Nothing has ever been touched inside the guitar, it had a major build up of oxidization on all the electrical components. But I couldn't stand not to have it working, so I cleaned the electronics with a fine brass wire brush and removed the pickup. Judging by the evidence, It would be my guess that some type of beverage got spilled on or into the pickup causing it to short out. I'll sure be glad to get the pickup back from Ed Elliot and into the guitar.
