So, I don't have any Jagwire stanless steel strings left but I will order some soon. Can you hear if strings 3 and 4 are not stainless steel?

Plain strings are all silvered steel. Compounds like Stainless steel and nickel only apply to the wound strings.
So no, you won't hear any difference on 3 and 4 because they are the same in both sets. |

You're welcome. I'm assuming you're talking about pedal steel in the E9 or C6 tuning. There might be some other fixed tunings that use wound strings on 3 and 4.
Didn't think about that when I replied to your post.
On the difference between alloys, generally among wound strings, stainless are a bit brighter than nickel so if you mixed stainless and nickel wound strings, you might notice some difference in tone and balance. |

About as much as you can hear cabinet drop on stage in a 'live' situation.
Sooooo,
the answer is no.
