Univega Nuovo Sport Brakes...? Front recessed, rear nutted

I picked up a small Univega Nuovo Sport frameset. Nothing special.

I am noticing now that the rear brake bridge is for nutted brakes and the front is for recessed. That might be tricky to find a set like that

I am thinking ill run nutted brakes. I have a set of centerpull nutted Mafac Racers that might use since i have them laying around. To fill the front hole so i can "convert" to nutted i suspect i could take a recessed nut and drill it out so that a standard nutted shaft goes through it and use it as a shank washer to fill the void allowing me to run nutted brakes.
