I'm looking at 3 different mid-70s Motobecane catalogues.

Catalogues are always a bit vague, and often not even truly accurate. Nevertheless, for what it's worth... these distinguish the two framesets by the addition of Campy dropouts and fork tips on the GR...

All show the GR in silver with black & Black with red... The Grand Jubilee was Red with black & silver with black.

One of the catalogues further distinguished the Grand Jubilee as having butted 531 "main" tubes and Huret dropouts,... but the other two do not make this distinction and mention simply double butted 531 tubing and "forged dropouts."

Nice looking bike in any case.
