I'll go with the "honest mistake" idea here; Jubilees were labeled Sachs-Huret their last few years and the cutout, uncoated shift levers were sold with all derailleurs so labeled. A number of bikes used them as OEM, Trek, Peugeot, and a few others. I don't think the original plastic-over-chrome Jubilee levers were produced after 1980. David Feldman
