The use of "Campagnolo" as a keyword to designate exotic high-end road parts is a well-established custom on eBay, and I don't consider it deceptive at all. Indeed, I recently bought a Hetchins frame that was listed as: "Rare Hetchins Curly Bicycle Frame Campagnolo".
I don't know what the hubs are either, they don't look like Hi-Es I've seen, but there were multiple variants of these, and I believe that the seller is being straight in his or her description. Too bad there isn't a close up of one of the rims, might be possible to tell something from that. I would mention that, in the '70s, 32 spoke wheels were considered radical exotica.
