Richard, they look more like the 4 inch clay blocks that NP has mentioned as being used in some buildings whereas, the Terra Cotta blocks in the earlier images are larger and used as cladding rather that lining. I assume '4 inch' refers to the width of the block.
The building certainly looks like a BCF allthough the external cladding seems to in the narrow panels seen on the 'light' version with the internal wall being the clay bricks.

You can tell a builder from an archaeologist by the size of his trowel. Mine is a small one!

Who is we? It is not a BCF but could be an Orlit, but never seen one internally lined with clay blocks.

On a tangent, I noticed today at Upwood that a floor in the SHQ was partly constructed from some form of terracotta block too.
