Campagnolo Cantilever Brake ID Help

So these came off my Klein Attitude that I just picked up. At first I thought they were Grafton's because they were so covered in dirt and grime I could not read the covers but after cleaning them I was suprised to find they are Campy. Never seen this type before and was wondering what year they are from.
Also, does anyone have a set they want to sell cause these really cleaned up well and would look great back on the Klein.:)

Record or Icarus, after all they did have two different ways how they tightened pads.

This is other one...

These were the earlier Record/Icarus ones, the later ones copied the clamp from another italian company called FRO (although that was also the same as the clamp used on Tecktro brakes as well..

Yours were from around 1992-94 IIRC, sadly they often sell for the same amount as Grafton! Also be careful when bolting them on to the frame as the thin cap has a habit of cracking if you over tighten.
 
Record ones from same period (and I've had 2 pairs - still got the NOS one) had different bolt and shroud to fit to canti studs.

I'm guessing Icarus too though I've never seen any.
 
These are definitely early Icarus, with that Record type clamp.
-Record OR has a more sophisticated pivot system, a different cap without the engraving and countersunk bolts.

Campag often mixed up Record and Icarus groupsets, - I've seen lots of Record OR equipped bikes with Icarus cantis.. Quite a few team bikes did this BITD
