Brake Blocks for Bianchi Branded Brakes

The question is in the title really.

I have an older Bianchi (SL3) that I use as a commuter and it has Bianchi branded dual pivot brakes with cartridge blocks. Does anyone know what type of cartrige block I need as replacements? They don't look like Campag units but I would like some kind of confirmation that they are shimano fittings before ordering.

Thanks
Cobbles are all very well but I'd rather be riding towards the South of France

    OK I've done a bit of searching and the holders look like this. Shimano?

    The only other question is Black or Salmon?

    I fear this may mean Bianchi have secretly put some Shimano on my Campagnolo equiped bike! Right, that's it - I'm of to remove them. Probably ride faster without them...

    I have been looking at getting some cartrige blocks for my bike too but could see the differents with Campag or the Shimano ones?

    I have campag single pivot brakes so would like to know myself.
    Thanks
