String identification

Here's the mystery strings:
The tailpiece end wrapping is red with black stripes. The peg head colors are green (E), black (A), red (D), and brown (G). Any ideas what these strings are?

Orchestras.
The Weichs have a purple silk at the peg.
For Thomastik strings, the silk color at the tailpiece tells the brand (Spiros=red, Superflexibles=blue,Dominant=purple,Precision=blac k), and the peg color tells the gauge. (yellow=solo, weich=purple, the same color as the tailpiece says regular)
