Ah, I think I have it - it's a "Record 60" with the nameplate gone (or maybe
some were made with no nameplate?)
Compare Mark P's mystery derailleur, http://www.petry.org/markp/simplex1.htm
with this shot of a Record 60:

(I don't know who the photographer is; I probably stole it from an ebay
auction)
Here's a good shot of a 543:

note the difference in the coverplate over the pull chain, compared to both
of the above.
If I'm not mistaken, the Record 60 is rarer and nicer than the 543, so this
should be good news, eh?
