Double Bass String ID - Red Pegbox Ends, Multicolored Ball Ends

[overit]

Anyone know what these are? Pictured are the E & A. The installed D also has the red at the peg and a yellow/gold ballend. It is quite bright. Any ideas?

Three different brands on the bass. G is D'Addario Hybrid, D looks like Thomastik Bel Canto, A and E look like Thomastik Superflexible.

Supers don't have these colors, and the ball-ends are also different. (and stamped O or S and the string number)

Those pics may have been confusing. The installed E&A are Jargar Mediums. You are correct about the G string being a Hybrid Helicore. The installed D matches the set that is uninstalled and a mystery - all red peg ends and multicolored ball ends. Seems like most manufacturers have the ball end side matching and the peg ends different to show weight.

Never mind.

cheap would be good but I'm liking them (a nice difference to the Jargars which I've been enjoying) so hope they might have a name!

I ended up putting the E&A on. The ball ends themselves look nearly identical (maybe a little ore rounded on the edges) to the Helicore Hybrid. I wonder if they might be an older D'Addario string?
