I don't think it's the strings so much as it is the guitar itself - looks like a Gibson John Lennon model - the pickup may be contributing to the sound, especially if it's original. Gibsons usually have a muddier tone, imo.

I have the album TRUST, but I am looking for Rockinghorse Blues, it's done in collaboration with Elvis Presley, Carl Perkins, and another. Anyone have a copy? I heard it long ago - it's a great song!

Hi, it's not a great sound to be honest.
Often, studio engineers leave a lot to be desired and if I was in a blind listening test, this I'd judge to be a cheap guitar with an 'across the soundhole' pickup.
As for the strings, they look heavy.
At a guess 13 gauge and for the duller sound, go for a standard bronze as opposed to phosphor bronze and play em dead for a while.
