Your assumptions are correct. I love these chains and have two still
in the bag. I'm not sure of the years but I bought about 10 of them
back in '93, or so, but I think they're from the late-80's. I used
them quite a bit on Campagnolo 8 speed setups. They work well for the
7-speed too, but the one I put on a 6-speed didn't seem to work too
well.

I think this was actually the CX-S chain and the difference is the
cut-away plates. Not too classic but a really nice chain though they
wear out quicker than a Sachs Gran Tourisme (my fave from the period).
