I doubt those would fit well. I think you need some old style Dia-Compe lever hoods. Post a pic of the bike in the Classic & Vintage forum and ask about the brake hoods. They will know.

As for fit, getting a first hand opinion from someone local would be good. Some people post pics here of themselves on their bike with the pedal at the 6:00 position. Better than nothing if you want more opinions. (along with possible ridicule).
