There are at least 3 versions of Huret Jubilee short arm derailleur distinguished by the short arm cage. (3-spoke, no spoke, and drilled) There is also a long arm Jubilee derailleur (? for tandems?).

There are 2 main body styles distinguished by the Huret-Sachs sticker.

I believe that Chuck Schmidt has a 1978 Huret catalog at a reasonable cost.

<snip> +++++++++++++++++ There are at least two different top ends, too; the piece that forms the upper end of the parallelogram and is pierced by the bolt that attaches to the drop-out. One has a nib sticking out as a pivot stop for Campy drop-outs, and the other for Huret. I think. I have the Campy-style, and have memories of being frustrated by the unexpected discovery of the (useless to me) alternative. FWIW, mine is a no-spoke. I don't know how many permutations there were. Somewhere (Chuck, save us from speculation!) I recall a flip-flop washer that allowed converting the one for one D.O. to the other.

Always happy to assume custodial responsibilities for vagrant Jubilees.
