MAFAC Dural Forge brakes as well as some Competitions came with red plastic bushings (on a white metal stud) as well as with Bronze bushings. I have owned many pairs of each of these models, but have never seen the ones with bronze... As I understand it, the bronze bushing ones were earlier and more desireable, perhaps because they could be fitted to frames that have brazed-on studs.
