String Silk Colors?

I just pulled my bass out of storage. Trying to identify the strings. Based on this thread they are probably TI's or GHS. The strings on the bass are flats and all of them have gold end balls with have bright red silk on both ends. Probably 105-045's.

I could sure some help identifying these. Thanks, Dave.

Those are Rotos.
 
I bought a set of Roto 77's a few years back that were blue at both ends. But a recent purchase of a B and E singles, where the E was Red and the B was Red at the nut and black at the bridge and had a white ball.

I just bought a set of Rotosound RS77LD Jazz bass (Long scale, 45 - 105) and I noticed the silks were red at the nut and black at the bridge with colored balls (E = red, A = blue, D = white, G = red). Previously Roto 77 have been red at the nut and red at the bridge with brass balls.
