The neck pickup is located normally right where a 24th fret would be. This is a null point when you play open strings or 12th fret notes, thus the string stays stationary at that point. If you would have played any other fret, you would see more harmonics with the neck pickup.
This is a very good systematic way to determine the tone and color of different pick ups. I guess looking at different spectrum from dieferent wire configuration can help you to characterize specific settings. Specially when you are adding different filters on the tone controls or braking the hambucking coil into a single coil.
The difference in the frequency response may not be the guitar brands themselves... pickup height and as you noticed pickup selection comes into play also; the bridge is often chosen for pinch harmonics because of this.
