the front derailleur is the first generation euclid, essentially a victory long cage mated to a better clamp, useful for tight french triple cranks like t.a. zephyr and mavic 637. the rear i also have, and if you'd like side by side scans, i'll send them to you. it truly looks like a polished rally, down to the by then obsolete limiting screws and seem to have been made from the same mold. one thing i will say, it has the longest arm on any long cage derailleur i've ever seen (much longer than the original rally and anything more modern) and as such is a shifting nightmare. my guess? it's the first generation euclid.
