there is a set of this ebay type on a Bottecchia bicycle in a recent forum thread:

Disregarding the details, there are two basic versions of the old Campy down tube shifters; the Record type clamp has female ends, like brazed on bosses, that receive a bolt; the other type, as seen on Nuovo Gran Sport and related levers, has male ends that receive a (wing)nut of some kind. The mystery levers on the Garlatti, as on the Bottecchia, are clearly in the latter category.
