What brand of strings are these flatwounds?

Need help identifying these strings! They are amazing flatwounds that came with this bass but I don't know what make / model they are. They have purple silk wrap by the tuners. I would love to get more sets for other basses in my collection because they sound and feel so great. Can anyone ID these strings?

Just as a precaution, don't be surprised if the purple silk on the new set is slightly different from the ones in the pic. They have gone through a few different shades of purple over the years, the latest being more blue-ish purple than older ones.

Here are the ones I had on my P bass in the last couple of years... As you can see, some of the non-silked part on the E wraps around the post just like the one in your pic due to their "long plus" winding length of 38". Don't let that concern you too much as there is no issue.
