Help indentifying/replacing aero brake lever hoods

Hey, I'm hoping someone can help me figure out what my setup is so I can replace my brake hoods for what I think are vintage dia-compe aero brakes. I know they're old but am hoping to find some "new old" stock, since the hoods are pretty done, as you can see. Any info you have would be so helpful! Thanks, everyone!

You have the Internet , Go fo It.

Ive glued on Thin Glove leather to make covers for Old Hoods ..

The Chamois tanned sheepskin in the auto care Department is a Place to find The leather ..

Then Dye it with Shoe Dye when you are Done.
