Flat wounds identification please

[Pinball]

I have some flats that I got with a bass and have no idea what they are.

Bright red tape at both ends and brass rings t the bridge. Any suggestions?

I dont know about the rings but thomastik jazz flats have red silk at both ends,

Do you mean red silk?

Thomastiks don't have brass rings.

LaBella 760FL Flats have red silks and brass rings, IIRC. Can't remember if they have silk at the ring end, though.

It looks like EB's. Well I like them although i have already ordered some Status flats to try out. If I don't like them as much I know where to go. Thanks for the advice.

Note: I was told in a local shop that EB's and Rotosounds are basically the same strings sold under different brands. Is that true?

The answer is disputed but see this thread:

Do they look like this? I'd really like to be able to identify this set. Nicest strings that I've ever played, but I don't know what they are. Red silk both ends, quite shiny. Hmmmm? ...

Yep thats the ones.
I like them a lot. I ordered some Status strings (loved their half rounds in the past) but will be after a set of these if I'm not satisfied.
