Please help me identify these strings...

hey folks.

i found a set of used strings here at home, and they sound and feel lovely, but I really don't have a clue what strings these are.
maybe you can help me out here, so i can buy another set of these...

you can have a look at the pictures, maybe that helps to identify them. i guess the winding on the head plate is kinda typical, and the ball ends, too.

what i can tell about these strings:
they are 100-80-65-45 (i measured that), and they feel pretty slick and soft. the string tension is rather hard, but thats too subjective to rely on that...

they sound pretty bright, so I suppose they are stainless steel, but again, this is also pretty subjective...

i think it would be best if you could tell by the looks of the windings and the ball ends...

definitely no coating on the strings !
so no elexirs....

how can i figure out if those are nickel or steel ?
judging from the bright sound, i'd say steel anyway...

like i said, the string tension is pretty hard. maybe that helps ?
