Can you refill with new leads after the original ones are finished?

Yes. The erasers at the end are removable, and when removed there is a hollow tube the lead goes into. If I remember correctly, the ones I bought all came with a spare lead inside.

Are these like papermate ie twist the head to get the lead or is it by pushing the top ?

You push the top to advance the lead. It works very well!

Is it just the clips which are assorted colours? I am looking for a black & translucent barrel as depicted on the box, not coloured ones.

yes.. only the clips are coloured.... these are great pencils

which country are they made in?

HI the pack I have are made in France, but likely as Bic are a huge company they make them worldwide.
