The Rubinos Aardwolf mentioned don't say which type of tube they use (the description is obviously recycled from their clincher tire, mentioning a folding bead), but I suspect they use butyl at that price point.
Here's the research I looked at when I picked Orange Seal to put in my tubular tyres:

He tested road clinchers with tubes (both latex and butyl).

It's a good read.
