What strings are these on my bass?

I bought a cheap jazz bass second hand a year ago and I left it at my relatives house for when I visit.

I’ve been playing it recently and I’ve realised I love the strings on it but have got no idea what they are.

I’m pretty sure they are stainless steel, definitely round wounds, and have got no silk wrapping and all silver balls at the bridge end.

They remind me of a set of Long & McQuade house brand strings that I bought at least 15 years ago. I just can't recall for sure if they were stainless or not but I believe they were.

I'll look around and see if I can find the package with my string stuff.
