I recall a series of posts on this issue not long ago. One listmember pointed out that the bodies that made it onto the SR pedals had a nicer finish. Who knows if this was true at all times, or nver, or if some of the SR pedals got special treatment and others didn't. It would not be unlike Campy to put a "special finish" on some early SR pedals and then get tired of the extra work and revert back to the standard finish... or for the quality of the standard finish to vary considerably over time.
The pressed-in races on the SR pedals are different from all the others because they are made for use with 1/8" balls insted of the 5/32" balls of the NR/SL pedals. I am virtually certain that the pedal bodies are all machined the same way and will accept either race.
