The bike is on the way and I want to get the parts at hand.

Being a bit ignorant myself, I'd have to guess those are Shimano octalink.

edit: After checking the auction, the seller says that it is a Shimano Ultegra BB, so I'm going to stick to my original guess ;-)

Yup, it's one of the octalink variations. Be warned there were a couple of them. I think SheldonBrown.com has some good information about the differences.
