There were of course Gran Sport hubs, all the three piece, steel barreled alloy flanged hubs are I believe GS. It doesn't strike me as too odd calling the Nuovo Tipo hubs GS, as they came supplied with a gruppo that was a mish-mash of names, Sport (headset and perhaps crank at times) Gran Sport (at least crank, seatpost, front derailleur, shifters, bottom bracket and pedals) and Nuovo Gran Sport (rear derailleur). I don't think it's far wrong to call any of the non-GS labelled bits GS, if only for simplicity's sake. It certainly makes more sense to me than the official Campagnolo nomenclature.
