IIRC there is a way to tell if they are the later studs. Some were a different colour and I think may have had something stamped onto the end 'M'? If it's an early bike and not had them changed then it certainly worth considering I would say.They did fit them to the the later bikes but not sure when.
Had one on my '94 900SS go and it's a pain. The Baines Racing ones are waisted in the centre to allow for some more stretch so you can see when the barrels are off, but I'm not sure if the Ducati ones do.

Black studs are the replacements for the original shiny stainless steel ( ? ) studs which had a habit of breaking.

As for the base gaskets, they are really just shims and don't seal anything (use threebond for that) so unless they break or are too rusty etc. then you can re-use them. Otherwise measure them, I actually used a 0.4mm on one and a 0.3mm on the other to fettle the squish but you can't go wrong by using the same as before...
