Help me identify these strings?

I found some strings in my bedroom drawer this afternoon, so out of curiosity I decided to stick them on my P bass... well I didn't expect to like them, but I really really do.

So now I wonder what they are so I can buy some more for next time I need to restring.

They're nickel plated wounds, with no coating (so not elixirs)

They were in a rotosound RB50 box, but it's definitely not them as they're on another bass I have. They're thinner than those anyway, I'd say 45-105.

No silk on either end.

All the ball ends are brass so I don't think they can be D'Addario.

They might have come off a squier Matt freeman bass I bought a year or so ago. Dunno what stock strings they usually have on. Or could be from another bass... I've bought a few used basses over the year.

My gut instinct says Fender or Rotosound, but I wanna be a bit more certain.

I'd be grateful for some ideas :)
