The Huret Allvit at 260120926446 seems more recent to me than mid-1060s.

160119213883 looks right, including the rollers, but is missing the bolt and shaped nut that mounts the claw to the drop-out.

32011825574 hs a platic cap that I don't recognize from that early, on the upper pivot.

I'm in the process of rebuilding/restoring my 1966 Sun. In it's history the original rear derailleur and wheel were damaged and replaced with late 70s Raleigh parts.

I recently got an original Dunlop/Resillion wheel-set to match. I have one of the typical 60s-70s Sachs Huret rear mechs but believe it would have come with a Huret Allvit and would like as faithful as possible a restoration.

How does the Allvit fair compared to the more commonly available Huret derailleur 260120926446? On eBay there are a couple of Allvits 160119213883 and 32011825574 that look a little different, does anyone know which one would have been used in 1966 ?

Thanks for any advice anyone can give.
