Hadn't seen these Gotoh UPT tuners with white tulip buttons before until recently. My 40's Style 0 had the original tulip tuners, which were among the worst frictions I have used. At the bottom of the button, there is a little cone which fits into the headstock hole, so it makes adding washers all but impossible. I replaced mine with Pings, which were a no-mod drop in replacement. They are better, but still just OK, compared to UPTs. The vintage tuners in the pic below are on eBay for $129.00, I can't imagine they'll sell for that, but if they do, I may put my set on there too, to fund a set of these UPTs.
