Did Universal Mod. 61 brakes come with the earlier shape of lever like in this auction:

or the later (more common?) shape?

Or would they have been available with both shape of lever depending on what year the brakeset was sold/made? Which brings me to another question, when did they stop production of the 61's? Surely the introduction of a newer model (the Super 68) would not mean they stopped producing the 61.

Anyone know for sure?
