The Syncro 1, the one that could rarely be made to work, had the little lever on the outboard side. The Syncro 2 had the knurled knob used to engage and disengage the Syncro ring. There were at least three levers like this (large-wrap, small-wrap, small-wrap with cheezy finish). Later Syncro models (still called Syncro 2?) were index-only and had a little barrel adjuster on the right side shifter. All the 8-speed ones were the same then the 9-speed ones came out, and I think they were all the same also. Perhaps they have a 10-speed one by now.
