As Greg parker pointed out, those are not 1st-generation, neither the hoods nor the levers. And the white plastic bits are not Campy and don't belong there.

Here's a pic of both lever shapes side by side (hoods off).

Note the lever on the right rotates up farther into the hood making the reach farther from the bars; also the tip shape is subtly different, a bit pointier.
