Sounds a little self serving on my part, but the best source for IDing Mavic parts would be this reprint I sell:

MAVIC...A Brief History of MAVIC Bicycle Components (Une Brève Histoire des Pièces de Vélo MAVIC) -- 422 pages, covers Mavic components from 1977 through 1995, nine catalogs, ten brochures, and two workshop manuals showing how to service all Mavic components, plus a Mavic Timeline, an invaluable tool for dating your bike and its parts. Color cover. $ 50

MAVIC USA even bought a couple of copies because they didn't have any reference on their older parts!
