Need help identifying these strings

I just acquired a Gibson G3 recently and the strings on feel like flats, but also feel a bit gritty like rounds . Not as slick as other flats I've tried. Which I liked. The ball ends have green cloth on each string and the tuner ends have no cloth at all. I like these strings a lot and want to know what they are.

Green silk only at the ball end... They could possibly be the pre-2010 Fender 9050 flats, which were still made in Fender's own Mexican factory before D'Addario took over their production. The current 9050s have green silk at both ends with color-coded ball ends, and are not the same strings anymore.
Thanks. Based on my internet research and your response. I'm gonna hold onto these for dear life.
