Steve, The original Unica or Unica-Nitor made by Nitor Brevetti Mondialli was available in as you said green and also in black and orange. They became available in about 1959 and were ridden by the entire French team in the 59 Giro D'Italia and were ridden by Anquetil, Darrigade and Shay Elliott the same year. Take care Mick Butler.
