Question about Kluson style tuners

For all users with vintage/reissue fender style guitars that have those 6 in line kluson style vintage tuners, we all know that we have to cut the string to length first before slotting the string into the tuning peg from the top right?

I came across this:

The tuners are 6 in line kluson style but if you look carefully, the strings pass through the pegs from the sides and you trim off the excess string after winding like modern gotoh/schaller etc. tuners.

According to the photo's source, it's from gotoh but I can't seem to find it in shops or in the catalog. Anyone have any idea?

You mean you want to find a vintage style kluson tuner that has string holes instead of slots?
 
Yup. The kind as shown in the photo I posted.

I printed out photos to enquire at some shops and they showed me the usual kluson 6 in lines for Fender style headstocks. I had to keep emphasizing, "no, no, look carefully, the string holes". But they all don't stock this and had no idea too... :(
