The 1983 Pro Tour page looks like the same font as in 'A' above. The headbadge is a decal, but it is the same design as the stamped metal badge.

I'd be curious, as I generally felt the Elite and the Lemans sort of took each other's slot on a rotating basis until about 1987. 1983 had a really nice Lemans RS with Suntour Le Pree, piggy-back ratcheting shifters, and the Suzue hubs. Not sure if they were the same hubs as the Turbo, but both of those bikes were really nice riders. I believe the Lemans RS was 27"

I'm pretty sure my Lemans RS was Infinity, and quite certain my Turbo was Champion #1, chromed under the paint.

Hope that helps. I may have missed the earlier posts on the subject....
