the chances are biggedd that even if you source the correct blocks they will stick out like a sore thumb
might be better to strip out the blocks and relay but use a completely different block as a border detail
just a thought

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.
