A point well taken, Chuck. Did bikerdaver have any reason to think they were factory Campy centerbolts? perhaps they were marked in the way that the steel ones were.. Either way, based on what you have said about the BB's and pedals, the are probably OMAS parts, but perhaps they were "officially stamped" as Campy parts.
