I am not sure if the brake calipers are original or if they have been replaced with something else. So, I need to know how to figure out what pads are on there now.
Give us a close up of the wheel and caliper and we will tell you. Most likely you have the stock caliper because it was used on a lot of bikes around that time. A simple picture will clean things up.
