Jaco pastorius string gauge

The original Rotosound swing bass were guaged:
46-63-80-102.
This is what Jaco used and would be closer to 45-105
than 40-100.
Hi There ! I’ve looked for 46-102 and nothing found. So I went with 45-100 which logically to me is closest to that set.
I assume he used Rotosound Swing 66 Stainless Steel Round wounds ?? His percussive-pizzicato technique is a tough thing to achieve.
