These were the NGC450B brakes, which could still be found in the Touring section of the 1989 Dia Compe catalogue. By the way, they listed 3 center-pull "touring" brakesets:

NGC450B: beautifully finished with bearing pivots GC510/GC700: Similar to NGC450B, but a bit less fancy looking and with plain bearing pivots 610/750: "Ye Old Weinmann copy", unchanged since time the beginnings of recorded history Now it's back to work, Fred Rednor - Arlington, Virginia
