Help identitying strings on Sadowsky MetroExpress 21

Hi!

I bought a Sadowsky MetroExpress 21 Hybrid fretless and it came with roundwound strings that sound really good.
I'd live to know what strings are these and if anyone can help I'd be much appreciated.
I bought the bass on Thomann and the strings have silver ball ends.
 
A couple of pics - one at the headstock and one at the bridge - would help.

"Roundwound with silver ball ends" is too general a description for any positive ID.

They just look pretty generic with no distinctive visual qualities. I was asking in case someone knew which strings they use.

Nevertheless, I just got the answer to my question. They come with Warwick Red Label stainless steel strings. I was quite surprised because many told me that these strings sucked but they are actually quite good and really cheap.
I may buy a set or two of these on the future.

I always ask for pics because there may be subtle visual cues that are not as obvious to a casual observer.

If they're Warwick Red Labels, one of their distinct features aside from the silver ball ends is how the thinner end that wraps around the tuner post have spirally wire loosely wound around it. Can you see what I mean?

I'll check that tomorrow. I left the bass in the rehearsing room.
Thank you for your input!
