People have swapped lower-end freehub bodies onto Record/Chorus and this is the most likely flavor.

I upgraded both of my rear Chorus hubs after Campagnolo quit selling my favorite 8 speed cassette but before the 9 speed 10mm axle (97/98) Chorus freehubs got expensive and then disappeared.

That stinks! I am fine with doing some serious surgery--bearings, axles, etc. As long as it comes back together. In this case, would a Veloce donor hub work?
Unknown.

Probably 1999. Not the post 2000 years I looked at.

A sampling of Mirage and 2000+ newer Veloce have cartridge bearings and a hollow axle.

The forgings look fatter in the middle than Record/Chorus, presumably to accommodate the axle. I'd be surprised if it fit together.
