Doug,
I have a Huret Louison Bobet derailleur on a Hercules from that period. It
has two "shift levers" on one downtube braze-on. I've only ridden this
bicycle a few times so can't verify the shifting. Check out the following
link to see if yours is the same. You can see a close up if you click on
the blue title.

> Whilst on the subject of rear gear mechanisms for the last few days, to a
slight change of my own Huret 1953 rear changer . This particular early
fifties series is engraved with the great Louison Bobet's name on the rear
outer cage also like other makers it has ball bearing fitted jockey
wheels.It is a very efficient changer and has given me a trouble free use
for many years. I have never seen or heard of another like mine, so it a one
off , or rare perhaps ? List members comments would be very welcomed.
