Mystery Sticker on favorit special!!!

HELLO!!! I recently got a favorit special of 1977 for restoration but the thing is, the sticker on the vertical tube is different from what i see until now on Internet.
it has the initials WBP the number 30 and with very small letters i can barely read something like "cou... de la pa..."
Does anyone know what it stands for???
thank you

btw- you have probably noticed that the bicycle's rear derailleur is marked PWB; this is a reference to the same stage race as mentioned above.

in case you are interested there is some history/background information here:


Derailleurs from the Czech Republic
