Short Scale Flatwound string ID

I found a set of flatwounds in my string box and put them on a Gibson Les Paul DC bass, and so far I'm liking them better than the chrome flatwounds that were on there. Unfortunately I didn't save the packaging and can't remember what they are.
  • Short scale
  • Black silks on the tuner side
  • No silk on the ball side
  • Ball colors are red, white, blue, gold
  • E string measures 0.105 with caliper
I have a vague memory that they're La Bella's, but not sure about this. Any help identifying these strings will be appreciated!

Those are La Bella 760FS 45-65-85-105.
