Triumph levers would have higher quality finish - the levers clearly look gran sport. The calipers as stated before are the 1983 (or so) and later Nuovo/Super Record short reach.

Rear spacing doesn't matter for which spindle you use - the 70ss vs 70ssX120 marking only refers to whether pre or post 78 campy crank arms are used (all to do with the CPSC silly front deraillieur lip=more gap between arm and ring business).

The cups work with either spindle, but for later cranks must use the longer 70ss spindle.
