Interesting. That also means we've nailed down when the headbadge changed from the sort of cross shaped one with the vertical "Centurion" to the round C on the bronze badge. My '78 Pro has the former, and the catalog shows the latter.

The most interesting thing is that the studs are cantilever, as opposed to the center-pull studs found on earlier Pro-Tour. This proves that the extant catalog, which has a Pro-Tour with center-pull studs, is in fact from 1979, as I had suggested. Some others had placed the catalog circa 1980.
