Hi Stephen,
In '84 with the introduction of the new gruppos (C-Rec./Vic./Tri.), the rear derailleurs sported limit screws in the outer arm (facing out). All of their r. ders. continued with that location. However, early ('60s/'70s) lower end rear ders. also sported that location. What puzzles me about your derailleur is that you said the limit screws are not in front, e.g. SR, NR, Rally. It sounded like you were describing a late '80s/early '90s Campy mtb r. der. These Campy mtb r. ders. look similar to the old Rally, but are polished and silver anodized with black anodized "Campagnolo" on the outer arm. However, the limit screws are in front. So I am stumped. Have I understood your description correctly?
