Yes you would've thought imperial. I looked on Andrew Engineering's price list and I see he lists them as 35mm OD so presume they are metric. If they're worn, why not knock them out and measure them? Dave.

If I remember rightly 6202 are the correct bearing, and the sizes you quote are correct, so nip down your local bearing stockist and buy a pair, try to get a good make like Fag or SKF or even Koyo, and buy the ones with rubber seals, greased for life.
