For sure: The one on the left, and the pair in the second image, are the older shape, which had a longer reach.

My guess: They appear to be drilled, but are mostly likely levers that started life as Records and had all the drilling added. The holes located where the factory would have dilled them don't look like the drilled and countersunk type I'd expect. They just look like they were drilled with a straight drill bit. Just a guess. If they are the factory drilled ones, the added holes kinda ruin the originality.

As brake levers go, however, they are all still cool.
