No one would suggest those were the same as 1958.
Not splitting hairs, just being accurate. They are what Campagnolo chose to call them. You might want to be careful about using words like "always" and "everyone," since I know plenty of people who can get this stuff right. I'm not at all aware that "everyone" calls 151 bcd cranks "Record" and 144 bcd cranks "Nuovo Record" as a hard-and-fast distinction. Plenty of people I know refer to the 144 bcd cranks as "Record," though some do use "Nuovo Record." Now you're talking about "common language among users" whereas before you were saying there "certainly was a difference" in correction of my post when I had already explained that the name didn't change when the bcd did. If you wanted to say that the name did change at least in common language (which I'm not at all certain of), you could have said that before. The way to specify differing products is easy enough without inventing things that never existed - it's a simple matter of talking about "144 bcd" or "151 bcd" cranks.
