You know Bruce, I have no idea but the reloading machines are no where like the ones we can buy. There would be no reason to use standard dies. I'd bet that they are machine manufacturer made and unique to the press. They are probably relatively quick change as well as dies on production machines must wear out and having the machine down for die replacement is lost money to them.
