Ducati cam adjuster bearings have no identification numbers on them
Stein Dinse, the major German Ducati parts supplier quote
SKF 6201-2RSH (no mention of C3 anywhere) x 4

ExactFit are the UK distributers for California Cycle Works) are spec’d as C3, which made sense to me as they run in a pretty hot place.
C3 refers to the tolerance between the race and the balls with C3 being made looser for a hotter environment - apologies if I am trying to teach you to suck eggs.

Personally I use Simply Bearings - prices as good as you will find, almost always has the stock, delivery within 2 days FOC. For cam adjuster bearings I would pay the extra for SKF.

The fixed idler bearing is a Ducati special and an odd size, I searched high and low for alternatives for mine but ended up with Moto Rapido with 10% forum discount at C £33, a bit better than Stein Dinse at Euros 48 each.
