These Campag pedals are in fact one of the early versions. The very earliest versions also had an oiler clip too I think. The screw thread seals were the first pattern of seal and I would guess that your pedals date from the early 60s. A year or two back I picked up some spares which came from the Mercier racing team and amongst those were spares of this type of spindle but I think they have gone now. They are very unusual.
