Those are Competitions, a later version, probably late 70's, maybe very early 80's. They have a foil sticker. The early Competitions (early 70's) had the model name engraved (or stamped or cast, maybe) in the caliper.

It appears to incorporate some of the nice details and finish of the Dia Compe Gran Compe brakeset into the basic Mafac Mod Competition architecture.

Warning: these may be off topic, timewise, but heavens--if Mafac isn't considered a KOF, who can be?
