I thought they always used Campy Super Record on the 1970s Raleigh Team Pros, but in the 1973 Tour de Ireland, I took some screenshots of the cranks and they clearly are not Campy at all. Maybe Stronglight? The crank spider is closed in, not with the 5 spider arms. I can email anyone pics if they want to help figure it out.
