In several years the Team and Le Champ were exactly the same bike. I have a 75-76 Le Champ and have compared the frame carefully against a co-period Team, it's the Same Frame.

Possibly the Team was equipped with Campagnolo brakes. I don't remember a green one either! But your bike is most likely a Le Champion or a Team.
