They look like your typical 'Pinhole' brick although the pinhole fellas I've seen are darker.
Back in the 60's a lot of the houses were going up with Flettons. You won't find many in the reclaim yards, as they don't clean up too well.
They look a bit like the old Heathers, or possibly Chilterns. Hard to be sure from a photo.

Thanks. LBC Chilterns are the best match that I've seen, but they are 65mm and these bricks are 72mm. Can get 73mm Heathers but they are darker.
Yep, Selco do a pinhole brick but they seem to be a darker shade with more black marking.
They have the texture of pinhole and the colour of say an LBC Chiltern or Heather. Tough one. Probably try and source some 73mm Chilterns but they will be expensive.
73mm bricks are readily available.
Carlton heather sandfaced 73mm look similar, available from Beesley and Fildes, it will be hard to get an exact match as your bricks will be well weathered.
Carlton heathers tend to have a lot of purple/maroon darker brick in the mix. There is the odd splash of lighter ones but no
where near enough.
