Bikes: '74 Raleigh LTD-3, '76 Motobecane Grand Jubile, '83 Fuji TSIII (customized commuter), '10 Mercier Kilo WT (fixed obsession), '83 Bianchi Alloro, '92 Bridgestone MB-1 (project), '83 Specialized Expedition (project), '79 Peugeot UO-8 (sold)

To my knowledge Grand Jubile's never came with triples. I've got a 1976 GJ and it has a Stronglight double. Still a great bike, but I don't think a triple was ever an option on them.

EDIT: Your Moto is most likely an early 80's. - Catalogue image exists for '79 and it looks very similar to yours, but colors were only black or gold in '79.
