Seller claims they are early french brakes, that mount to similar
studs as ones mounted for Mafac Racers??? am I missing something and
could I be totally wrong?

they appear to be 1980s Weinmann or something cheaper? Older brakes
generally had longer brake pads as the older brakes were not as
effective so they made up for that with more surface area on the rims.
and did not use phillips head screws??
If they were mounted on the fork shown in the picture wouldn't the
pads be above the fender, let alone the tire and rim.
seller said I was wrong? I see that they cannot mount to a normal
cantilever boss because of the spring placement. maybe they were
mounted to a plate. I cannot imagine special brazeons, anyone have
experience? I have a pair myself and they appear to be made of some
cheap potmetal, like 1970s Simplex Prestige parts.
