Two separate blocks with one pole-pair each.
A block with just one pole-pair can be anything, from real-pole to bessel to
butterwoth to chebychef, just depending on the resonance (Q-factor) setting.
The description by naming the Q factor is more common, and in case of 2-pole
blocks it's _enough_ to completely describe the filter character (alongside
with cutoff frequency, of course).
Looking at the whole thnig as one four-pole BPF, you can certainly realise a
bessel, butterworth, or cheby BPF (which means keeping both resonance
settings the same, and varying the distance between the cutoff frequencies
and the - linked- resonance of both partial filters). But these are just a
few selected cases - obviously you can create a lot of unsymmetrical BPF
responses which won't relate to any of the classic approximations, by
choosing different Qs for both blocks.
