Wheelset could have Tipo hubs as an option, but Normandy Luxe was spec. Monthlery tubular rims.
Pivo bar and stem. The catalog says the stem is the Professional, but even the pic shows the lower level.
Above is how my very early 70s Tdf came, except that it had the Campy Tipo hubs and a Sugino Mighty Compe (Campy NR copy) crankset. At the time I wanted the Stronglight 93s wider chainring range, so I asked the shop to switch it out. I later replaced the Simplex Criterium derailleurs with a Campy NR front and a Gran Turismo rear (to handle the extreme hills around Fayetteville, Arkansas). Photo of my post-conversion TdF below:
