I bought a '74 Grand Record with Mod. 61s, stamped as such (still have 'em). I considered but decided I couldn't afford the Bottecchia Pro, also with 61s. I believe you could also order the Bottecchia with Campy, but that would have been way out of my price range, and my LBS only had the Universal version anyway.
I've seen the brakes marked simply UNIVERSAL, assumed they were a cheaper model.
