Flatwound strings ID

[UBU]

Can anyone help me ID a set of flats? They run 50/65/85/100, I think they're the same size as the Fender 9050 set but these have no silks on either end.
Thanks in advance.

A couple of pics, please. One at the headstock and one at the bridge. What color(s) are the ball ends?

Are you certain about no silk at the ball ends? Or, are they installed thru-body and the ball ends are hidden?

Yeah, no silk. I had them off.

I was hoping you would find green silk at the ball end. I guess no such luck...

I first thought of the pre-2010 Fender 9050ML, which were made by Fender at their own string factory in Mexico before D'Addario took over their production. They didn't have silk at the tuner end, but DID have green silk at the ball end.

That would have been a perfect match! The gauges are spot on. I am starting to think the previous owner may have cut the silks off. I didn't realize how few flats there are without silks... actually I can't find any!

I've read about a couple of brands of flats with no silk. But not in those specific gauges.
