I bet the gutter had been overflowing which soaked the bricks and then the frost blew the faces off. Helped by the hard pointing and the bricks in question being slightly sub-standard.
Make sure the gutter is sound and replace the blown bricks.
I forgot to add, we have some similar bricks down here. They have a very hard face and a very soft core. If they get soaked the face can get frost blown with ease.
