Do I need a specific type of dt shifter?

I have a 1980 Voyageur 11.8. It is a 12 speed.

But it is missing the down tube shifters. I know that he bike originally had shimano altus shifters. But does it matter which brand dt shifter I get?

will these work http://www.ebay.com/itm/NOS-Suntour-...item4ac0b2c374

or these
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Shimano-Dura...item27cfc3710b

or these

Basically are any of downtube shifters speed specific? Do I need to make sure that the downtube shifter is 12 speed specific before purchasing?
