Jerry Moos was correct in describing these as smooth alloy caps with a hole for a (5 mm) allen key. My perhaps more pertinent question is why even worry about the caps? They serve no purpose, and if you look at any period photos of the top racers, you will see that they all removed them. IMO, a bike without the caps is therefore just as authentic as one with them.
