I am sorry I made a mistake due to my a little long-sighted
eyes. To examine the photos with glasses, I have
found it is different from San Marco GS on a Japanese list of
1982. Both were Laprade type( one- bolt) with rounded rear but
different in the side view of the upper part and in the fluting.
I cannot find the GPM nor Avocet on Japanese lists then.
