They're the new ones, not the old ones. They don't have a projecting lip
that juts out in front at the bottom, as did the entire old family except
the 1x6x3 . If the 1x1 was revived a decision would need to be made whether
to revive it exactly (meaning it can't sit behind a brick as the lip blocks
it) or redesign it somewhat (meaning it is stylistically compatible with the
new 1x2x2
Academically I'd vote for compatible rather than exact replacement.
