Sorry apparently the first 29 viewers have nothing to offer and neither do I. Shrug! maybe in another day..two..
It'll be a good experiment if you can grow them next summer.
Plant it and they will come.

Going by size alone I'd say Mongolian giant, for no other reason it's by far the most common giant seed sunflower around.

Do you have Google Lens? I did a search and got a lot of matches for snacks of sunflower seeds that size, but all from overseas in languages other than English.

Here's an Etsy listing for gigantic Israeli seeds
