Hub help

I'm looking into buying some wheels off Jim at Beyond Fabrications. I'm buying last years model and will be getting them at a good price.With that said He said his hubs are his brand of "superlight hubs" I run campy and these are shimano so I will need a new freehub body. Can anyone tell me what kind of hubs these are?
a little bit about these hubs:
front hub weighs 71 grams and 18 spoke count and the rear hub weighs 214 grams and has a 24 spoke count.

Thanks.

I knew they looked familiar, but couldn't put a finger on it.

Looks like Formula to me, too. What's more is that it looks like the the hubs used in the Velocity Helios and BWW Blackset Race 11 wheelsets both of which come in a Campagnolo version.

They are Formulas for sure. The rear has paired dogbone drilling. If someone gets one of those and needs a Campy freehub I still have one hanging around. I think I actually have a couple of sets of those hubs still sitting around.

Decent. i have ridden them for years off and on. Good value import hub.

hmm well that was a lot of help. Based on my "extensive internet research" (google) I thought they might be but I wanted a second opinion. Thanks for the help looks like I'll be getting some wheels.

edit*He is offering a campy freehub body but I'd have to wait till he gets one, then it would be shipped from norcal. That would have been too much work.
