I remember playing with such bricks, except they were red and reminds me of
spanish tile roofs. They came in sizes of 2x2 and 2x4 and also roof apex
pieces. They don't build the roof by themselves but are added on top of a base
of regular offset brick roof. I'm not sure if they are Lego, but were
definitely compatible with Lego. This was in the pre-tube days of bricks.
Sorry, I don't have any of the pieces to photograph.
