I've read that there were different levels of Helicomatic. I have 2- I can't tell them apart. My Trek 720 came with a Maillard 700 on the front, my Trek 420 came with a Helicomatic that looks like the other one- but came with front hub just stamped "maillard."

It's not like the Maillard 600 and 700 hubs; those were clearly marked.
