George/All-
I'll try and get a better shot of the levers, but they are definitely campagnolo. There are a composite lever similar to the old Universal plastic levers. I did some digging and think they might be a set of early 1990's Xenon levers. That group had a ton of composite parts.
If we are going the Super route as both you and ray suggested, why the difference in decals?
Thanks again.
