Yep. Mine have the little stickers. That probably explains why so many of them have no markings! Mine came on a bike that had all 73-ish components, so I suspect that they are early. They are laced to gold anodized Mavic (old logo) Record Du Monde De L'Heure rims and are 120 with a Regina 5sp. Alas, they have Maillard skewers. Interesting that these came on a frame with a "Charles Martin USA" head badge and no other markings. Still haven't been able to dig up any info on it. Other equipment included early Dura Ace crank, brakes (side-pull/black ano), f-der and a steel head set, PAT 73 NR r-der and a Zeus seat post. The wheel set is one of the reasons I bought the bike, but the frame still intrigues me. Some sort of long point lugs and fast-back seat stays.
