String ID help

I know this is a long shot but I am trying to identify these strings that came on a G&L L2K Tribute because they sound great and I wanted to buy some spares.
They are not the colored ball end stock D'Addarios EXL170.

I tried to compare it to DR hi beams/ lo beams, EB Slinky, Roto66 and D'Addario, but they do not look the same. The color is closer to EB Slinky, but the ball end shape is slightly different.



For comparison purposes the unknown strings are on top and from left to right, I have EB Super Slinky, DR Hi-Beams and D'Addario EXL170

I've read somewhere some G&L models come (or at least did in the past) factory-equipped with GHS Bassics, which are nickel-plated steel roundwound with stainless steel inner layers.

SETS - BASSICS™

I had a set on my Yamaha at one point...
