Thanks @midlife.
Your guess is correct - According to velobase, the calipers were made from 1948.

Blimey I remember those brakes lol. I worked in a bike shop in the 70's as a teenager and really old people (younger than me now) brought bikes in with these. I guess they are just after the war
Do your blocks look like compressed leather? They were popular with steel rims BITD. I wonder what modern pads are good with steel rims?
Cracking bike by the way :)
