Are these red peppercorns as in white peppercorns with skin, or Szechuan
peppercorns (which are actually an entirely different thing)?

You can get Szechuan peppercorns from the Cool Chile Company. I have a
tin (might have two, actually) in the kitchen. They have an interesting
effect if you chew them slowly, as your entire mouth will go numb...
