Allowing for the spacers, those blocks are 240/160/120 x 160. They are a washed/exposed agg block, which is probably European in origin. They are very reminiscent of the Stone & Style Rockstone but, as far as I'm aware, they never made those sizes, so maybe they are Stein Und Design, which were/are imported by Marshalls.
If they are S+D, then getting hold of small quantities will be very difficult and relatively expensive. Further, as LLL says, gettiung new blocks to match with weathered will be all but impossible.
To be fair to the blocks, because the surface is 80%+ aggregate, the weathering is much less noticeable than it would be with a coloured concrete block, but it will still be evident, so mayeb follow LLL's advice and look for a contrast.
