I found another interesting company: https://epiccustomshop.com/ Here's the review:

I really like the sound of the quarter inch pups (E1/F1), the price is also very reasonable. But while the J pickup should fit perfectly, the P set is too long for my bass 😟 So... back to my research....

The problem is - there is no one standard. I found the dimensions - The Ps are too big for my bass, and the Js shape does not match mine 😕
The quest continues....

I've placed these in numerous basses, there is a standard size. I've not found one brand with P bass pups or J bass pups that they are not interchangeable. Do you have a photo of the pups on yours?
I have litterally just slipped them in no prob on any, and even other brands into P or J no prob.

The Geezers is the maximum I can squeeze in. Also, I saw a review of someone who could install EMG GZR into the Ibanez Mikro Bass - VERY tight fit with some sanding.
I attached the GZR dimensions.
For the P pickup:
- between the screw holes: Ibanez = 62mm, EMG = 62.2, Entwistle = 65mm
- box length: Ibanez = 55mm, Ibanez hole = 57.?mm, EMG = 57.1, Entwistle = 57mm
- max length: Ibanez Pup = 65mm, Ibanez pup hole = 67mm, Entwistle = 71mm
So, the Entwistle P pickup is 4mm longer, than the P-holes, the distance between the screw holes is 3mm bigger
Entwistle J bridge pickup should fit, though.
Nordstrand NPJ Blade should fit better than the GZR, however on their site two dimensions are shown: 2.225 and 2.26. If it's 2.225 it will fit, if it's 2.26 - it won't.

Dimarzio Split P is the best fit.

If it's 2.225 it will fit, if it's 2.26 - it won't.Bad news - it will not fit. Just got a direct response from Nordstrand. 2.26" (6.71cm) is the correct measurement (2.5mm too big).
Any other blade designs besides Dimarzio Split P and Aliexpress ones?
EDIT: wrong! 6.71 should fit! Confused the measurements!
