The first ones are the original Campagnolo pedal, the Record, first seen at the 1956 TdF. The Cee <C> is for Campagnolo and is one of their reg. trademarks ("C" inside a diamond).

The second ones without the strap loop at the edge of the pedal cage and the plastic dust caps are the later Gran Sport, when Gran Sport was a lower price Campagnolo Group, not to be confused with the original 1950s Gran Sport group. These are sometimes stamped with "Gran Sport" on the barrel.
