Again, thanks for your help. I appreciate it. Pointedly though, I'd like to leave the points we do disagree upon with fair consideration to what is, and is not, historically proveable.
The photos I posted were distributed
PRIOR to 18bis. They were prepared in a rush because of the difficulties with the first delta brakes. They also show both pedal designs, of which only one is specifically designated as a track pedal. Did you also go to check the "ruote Fluidodinamiche" catalog that I mentioned earlier? In it, also printed and distributed prior to 18 bis, the ebay pedals are used exclusively on road bikes and the other pedals are used exclusively on track bikes, so there can be no mistaking how Campagnolo envisioned their use.
