it's hard to tell exactly from the pic, but they look like the PW bobbins to me. What does it say on the paper bobbin? All i can read is made in the USA.
I use PW bobbins and like them very much, as some have said, they have *a lot* of thread on them and they last much longer than the bobbins i wind on my machine. I usually pull off one of the cardboard sides and it fits in my viking D1 very nicely. If you are nervous about doing that, just test to see that the thread is in good condition and then re-wind it on your own bobbins, or keep it for use in hand applique. You can also put it on your top spool holder and it should work fine.
