Please help me to identify these strings

I'm hoping someone can answer my question.

I want to upgrade the pickups on my Japanese 62 re-issue Jazz Bass, and get it professionally set up. I love the flat-wounds that are on there at the moment, but I put them on over two years ago and can't remember which brand or type they are. In case anything goes wrong and I am unable to re-string the bass with these strings, I would like to replace them with the same strings new.

Can anyone help idenify them for me? They are flatwound, I think medium guage, and have BLUE silk wrap around the headstock end. At the bridge they have different coloured plastic washers for each string:

E=GOLD A=RED D=BLACK G=GREEN

I have a feeling they might be daddario, but as I said, I can't remember (should have kept the package, doh!)

Thanks in advance for any help,

Gregg
