Its all from that era. I'd strongly suspect that its all old stock whence not of a lesser quality. Since 2001 I don't think there have been any changes. In 2001, for example, the Pista group was still listed with the large flange C-Record hub but by 2002 the catalogues featured only the low flange hubs-- with quite different dies between front (Chorus) and rear (C-Record). The only thing I can imagine that Campa does these days with the Pista grouppo is assembly or maybe finish.
The dust cap? The caps on the C-Record era Record hubs are ... well.. looked nicer than the black plastic end-caps that replaced them in 1997 but they were more trouble.. probably the most trouble I've seen in caps.. That said... still great (and quite beautiful) hubs.. When they run out I suspect we'll see ugly black hubs or whatever they have in their stockpiles :-)
