Please help ID these strap buttons

I got these strap buttons on a used Fender bass and like them a lot - better than my schaller strap locks. I tried to find more on Ebay and found these, but they're not the same. If anyone can identify these and/or point me in the right direction for more, I would appreciate it!

They look really similar to the Gotoh oversized buttons that Bass Parts Resource sells.

FWIW, I have switched every string instrument I have to these, and love 'em:

They sell on 'bay as well, and in other finishes.

for me, it's regular-sized buttons fitted with the red gaskets from grolsch beer bottles.

for my bass player (who would promptly lose the washers in a gig or two) it's fender bass string trees (the round ones) as strap buttons. PRS has used them forever, and they're as secure a non-locking button as you're gonna find.
