Is the Lawrence 705 pickup still being manufactured?

I don't think so as they are not listed on the Wilde Pickups website. They say that if you are looking for a 705, you will like the XR-16.

There is a manufacturer out there that is still making 705 pickups since Becky doesn't make them anymore. Mullen has been and still is installing them on new guitars and people like them.

The 705 pickups are available from Sill Music Supply.

I believe there was a person who bought the rights/patent/license/etc from Bill Lawrence to make these pickups, with the design specs of the Lawrence 705, some years back.
