FWIW, all the braze-on sets I have fit on Campy style bosses.

BTW, the non-marked ones were supposed to be Mavics...not sure on how true that is, but I did buy one at eBay last year advertised as such. Not really concerned if they are Mavics as long as they are retrofriction and they work...I'm sure that they did at least come from a Simplex factory.
I'm on my third set with three bikes already and I'm sure I'll get them again for some future classic project bike.......if there are still some to find out there.
