I had these parts made for a project I am working on and the manufacturer claims they are 'autoclave dry carbon', which should mean pre-preg, but to my untrained eye it looks like regular vacuum bagged wet infusion. There are tiny bubbles along the edges and the outer clear resin layer seems thicker than what I would expect a pre-preg.

Are there any carbon experts out there that can help me identify what process they used to make these parts?

Look up debulking during an autoclave layup. Slowly removes excess resin and air over time to ensure the plys stay uniform and the desired resin to weight ratio is hit.
