Colnago Pedals?

A week or so ago, I was surfing the web looking at restored Colnago Super and/or Colnago Mexico bikes. One set of photos of one of these classic beauties had Colnago pedals (toe-clip variety). Did Colnago make components or were these special-made for this particular bike by Campy with the name Colnago stamped into the metal. If I remember correctly, there were some other components on the same bike that bore the Colnago name as well. Any knowledge of this?

The only Colnago I ever had (and I sold it) was actually a Marcel Calborn "Celo Europa", but it was in reality just another Colnago, but one made for his shop.
The only component on it I can recall that bore a Colnago brand was the headset, and it was a Cambio Rino product, I believe...a step or 2 down from Campagnolo quality.

They were likely Campy components that were pantographed with the Colnago name. This was common in the '70s & '80s and pantographing was usually done to stems, seatposts, shift levers & chainrings. I've never seen it done to pedals, but it was likely done, especially for a nice Colnago.

Got a pic of the bike?

Ha, I wasn't even thinking about pantographed parts...that seemed so obvious...and there were tons of parts on Colnagos (and many others) that were pantographed, but I also have never seen it done to pedal cages.
The HS I was referencing was not panto'd, it had the name Colnago in the die, definitely manufactured that way, not panto'd aftermarket. Along that line there were forged drop-outs (probably made by Gipiemme) that came from the manufacturer with "Colnago" branding...I wasn't counting that as a "component".
