I have a set of Gran Compe center pulls sitting in front of me. They have the bar with the pivots attached marked 5583 and a U or O 74 on the arm with the decal. The other arm has a faint "750 marked on them. Also have Gran Compe side pulls in a box. They are marked 500's. I thought the canti on my touring bike where Gran Compes but only the levers and the pulley bridge are. The centurion catalogue 1978 listed the brakes on the brazed-on pivots as Dia-Compe 610's
