We're gonna find out now, just ordered some and will report back when they get here. 
I'll bet the threads are good, between these, crank dust caps and SP binder bolts, they wouldn't have that good of a rating if not.
Also, these appear to be very close to the older versions of the real thing to my eye.

You'll have to tell us if they can be tightened down/removed using the Campy tool; as noted, the serrations look somewhat shallow - and, of course, they're alloy, so would be easier to tear up without a solid interface with the tool.

They are alloy - the seller states as much in his auction title.

In a fairly recent thread, someone was looking for Campagnolo pedal dust caps. Can't find that thread now.
This eBay source has 4 sets. Price seems reasonable ($25 plus tax, shipped, in US). Listing says "Free shipping world wide" - great if true, but caveat emptor recommended. Listing does not say which Campagnolo pedals they fit. Vendor is in Serbia.
https://www.ebay.com/itm/293463141482
Hope this helps someone out.

Thanks for the tip.
I have done 5 different transactions with these good people. Each part has been perfect. I'm just mad I didn't visit them when I was in the area last may.

No, Mine are not alloy. Thank you very much. I am quite capable if identifying my own pedal caps! The seller offers both types and mine are the plastic versions. If you doubt my qualifications to identify these I am the only one of the two of us that is certified as a Campagnolo mechanic by Bill Woodul of Campagnolo NA, I am also a former team Mechanic for the US Olympic Team and Mavic Neutral Support Mechanic for the TDF.

I didn't read between the lines and assume you were talking about a different auction altogether (albeit from the same seller). Perhaps you might have clarified what version you decided upon, and this misunderstanding would've been avoided.

This is the classic Brooks Saddle. It came on a new bike. I never sat on it. I use a different style saddle.
My butt is too old for this type these days.
The item is flawless

Agree, they do look closer to the originals, particularly the early steel versions. Alloy is a bonus, and the Campagnolo stampings look very well done. Looking forward to hearing your assessment once they arrive, as I have that auction on 'Watch'.
You'll have to tell us if they can be tightened down/removed using the Campy tool; as noted, the serrations look somewhat shallow - and, of course, they're alloy, so would be easier to tear up without a solid interface with the tool.

FWIW I find the MKS tool works as well or better on some Campy caps so we'll see when they get here.
I usually find that the caps that work good start well by hand and thread on most all the way.

I guess we'll find out together; when I pulled up the auction to have another look, there was only 1 pair left - so I snagged it

Turns out he was a builder for Claude Butler: https://www.classiclightweights.co.u...ll-gray-build/ and bikes with his (George Stratton) name might have been built by Bill Gray.

****. SORRY - I POSTED WRONG LINK TO THE BIKE **** @52telecaster - What is it???
Really really bad photos so probably still there. I have no idea what it is, but $60 doesn't get much these days. Canti's, barcons and a triple. Did the Wyoming not have braze-ons for shifting?
