You mentioned about the nutted brakes..would you able to share me a sample ?

Huret stop will look like this image?
No, that shows a hanger with typical "7-o'clock" tab position, such as found on Campy dropouts as well as most other brands of Italian and Japanese DOs.
Here's a pic from Velobase that shows Shimano DOs, just for example

Compare that to the next pic which shows a typical Huret DO, this tab or stop is at the "4-o'clock" position...not saying that eventually Huret may have made some DOs that adopted the more common form, but I haven't seen them. Also that frame might not be the model that came with a Huret RD, so it might have a standard DO...you'll know when you see it.

Hah, just realized that "7" can look like "4" when you view it from the wrong side...keep your POV on the drive side, my boy!
