O.K., All I have is the levers and the lever bodies.  I see the SIMILARITY between the two, but have no positive identification of the levers.  At this point, I will defer to the knowledge of the respondents.  However I will continue to research for a firm confirmation.  I will then marry them up to the appropriate calipers.    Bruce

That's funny Bruce, because I simply typed "Universal mod. 61" into a Google search box, and this CR page with ample photos was the very first result!

Listers: I am doing web searches now and there is no defintive identification by that marque.? Nothing left out or any bias, but I did want a certain idenity.?? BT

they look rather like a Universal mod. 61 brake lever to me, sans barrel adjuster and gum hood...
