>Campagnolo produced a lot of very similar brake levers in the 70s and 80s.
Indeed they did! I have Campagnolo Catalog 18bis, from which I garnered the following information. Hopefully it will help clear up confusion on some of the later levers. ---------- Victory brake levers: non-aero cable routing only, white hoods, 'drilled' (pierced-then-bent ala Super Record) levers with shield logo
Triomphe brake levers: non-aero cable routing only, gum hoods, smooth finish levers (no holes, no grooves) with shield logo
C-Record brake levers: dual cable routing, quick release mechanism in the lever body, white hoods, levers with diagonal grooves and shield logo ----------
In addition to the three listed above there was (what I believe was called) the Cobalto lever, which was produced to go with the Cobalto brake calipers that came out after the C-Record brakes proved so unpopular. These levers featured dual cable routing, white hoods, levers with diagonal grooves and shield logo, but did not have a quick release mechanism in the lever body.
