Identify some strings

So once I realized I had ordered the wrong gauge of Corellis, I decided to put on some old strings (a mixed set) from the stockpile of old strings I have.

I've had the following:

Obligatos
Heliocores
Spirocore Weichs
La Bella tapewound
mystery set that came with the bass

I *think* this is all - though I might be missing one set (darn brain fog). Anyway, I put these strings on my bass:

E - ball end has green winding with yellow detail
A - same as above
D - read and black ball end, red winding on peg end
G - I know what this one is - the Weich

If someone could help me identify which the other three are, it would be much appreciated. Obviously, I am not using any LaBellas! This mixed set is sounding really good to me...a bit heavier overall than the Weich set, so I need to adjust to 'em though!

thanks!

SPERM GO THROUGH

the d is an obligato. the other two may be helicore hybrids - is it green silk with yellow spiral?

Looks like E & A are the Helicores, and the D looks like Obligato, if it is red with black thread on the ball end.

Thanks guys! That's indeed it - green with yellow spiral - I forgot it was called 'spiral'. Anyway, the Heliocore E and A are a bit thicker than I am used to, and I'm likin it!
