Which Campagnolo BB cups are these?

To what group do these mystery cups belong?






French thread. Rifled holes.
Inside each cup, on either side of the bearing race, are black plastic or hard rubber rings. I can guess that the larger ring is designed to mate with a plastic sleeve to protect from water inside the bottom bracket shell. Does the smaller black ring mate with a similar ring on the axle?

Thanks,
Brent

I think you are messing yourself up. Those look like Super Record or Corsa Record cups- both were aluminum with pressed in races, where the races were not ground they appear black oxide. Time for a magnet test. The issue I think will be a matching spindle - ti super record with the pressed on steel races or the even more rare Corsa Record- both take 3/16" ball bearings

Wouldn't be the first time!

That was quick!
They are indeed aluminum with pressed-in races. I should have mentioned that. Where I messed myself up was in thinking the oxide was plastic!

Thanks!
