I think they probably are. I wasn't sure because I have grown borlotti beans in the past and they looked like this: white and red rather than brown and red. Googling images, it seems borlotti are beans of many colors.

The recipe on this site (where I got the picture) is very similar to the recipe I used. Add garlic and subtract celery and carrot.
