black ones of korg OASYS?

Hard to say because I don't own the oasys but, to me the oasys pads look different besides the color. Not sure it would fit right. You know where to get jut the buttons??

I'd like to know where to buy replacement pads too.
These white pads really show dirt.

I received information from an authorized Korg service center here in
Italy, informed me that pads of OASYS are bigger than
those of M3, so you can not replace

yea but can you replace the white pads with original m3 white pads (same ones that come?)... is the installation as easy as the button replacement is?

No. You'd have to gut the module to get to the pads. However, because it is a module and there's no keybed or joystick/disk drive to deal with, it's going to be easier than gutting your typical synth to replace an LCD backlight, for instance. The part number for the pads is 500646097501. You may want to replace the cushions while you're in there.
