Hello;
I have a circa 1960s Mafac catalog. It shows three types of Guidonnet levers.
http://www12.xdsl.ne.jp/
GE Guidonnet enfant : for children G1, G2 Guidonnet cyclotouriste gauche et droite : I think that they are dural (aluminum) for adult. GDA1, GDA2 Guidonnet cyclotouriste delrin arme gauche et droite : They are delrin (plastic) coated metals.
I think that the levers as David shows are "V1, V2 Poignee ville deportee gauche et droite".
