Hi Tom ,
I can't claim to know and understand all of the ins and outs , of this subject .
However ,
Chuck's Campagnolo Timeline says :
" 1968 - The Record side-pull brakeset (November) and the Valentino Extra low-cost rear derailleur are introduced. "
I feel confident in stating that there was never any such thing as a "Campagnolo Nuovo Record brakeset" !
And , although there were SO MANY changes to the brakes , over the years , from 1968 through 1987 ( toothed washers , domed quick release levers , domed vs. pointed nuts , half-round vs. triangular cross-section , no lettering , lettering , lettering styles , styles of trademarks , "Cobalto" "stones" ((glass?)) , aero cables , etc. , etc. ) . . .
My understanding of it is that if the levers have NO holes , they are "Record" . And if the levers DO have holes , they are "Super Record" .
That's it on the Record-Nuovo-Record-Super-Record thing .
Also , the correct holes , made at the factory , are easy to determine . The holes were made ( look like pressed , not drilled holes , to me anyway ! ) BEFORE the levers were bent to their final shape ! So , the holes were deformed by the shaping process . If you drill holes in an existing lever , you will NOT get those interesting shapes !

Raoul,
We were talking about crank arms being the same for much of the NR/SR time period and hubs, too. How about brake calipers? I don't know how to tell the difference between a Nuovo Record and a Super Record caliper. I just asked a friend and he said he didn't think there was any difference. Is there?
