Subject: [CR]Frejus serial numbers

I just acquired a Frejus 531 complete bike, and am wondering whether anyone knows if correlation exists between serial numbers and years on Frejuses, and what that correlation might be:

serail number: 51665 No date on NR cranks: and they are 172.5 72 date on NR rear derailleur

Only braze-ons are downtube derailleur guides and rear derailleur stop.

And while asking Frejus questions: were Universal or NR brakes original to a Frejus of this era, or was the NR brakes an option?

Thank you.

Cheers.
