Since your brakes are Weinmann 500's with no quick release, your levers should be the Weinmann ones with a quick release, like the picture in this thread. The style of the quick release on the lever changed over the years, but the one in your picture is correct for the late 70's. There are also different barrel adjuster styles-- the photo in your other thread shows a different barrel.

I don't see any signs of 'comfort levers' or 'turkey wings' or the like in any of your pictures.
