A number of Triumph brakesets I believe were supplied by Campy with Gum hoods. Also, the late production runs of the Super Record brakes (typically short reach with script writing on the arms) came through with white hoods. But yes, the white hoods do seem to have been introduced for the victory brakesets. C-rec would have used Cobalto levers which are aero and a different shape than the NR/SR.
