Very, very sad: Bikeshop abused my Gitane

Hi there,

It was a very sad day for me today when picking up my old Gitane from the local bikeshop:
I had a problem with the chain "jumping" over the pinions and no time to do it myself. I brought it to the local bikeshop and advised them clearly: "If you remove original pieces, please keep them - I'll need them to find an adequate spare part." Guess what happened? When I came back, they added an ugly, modern rear derailleur and had thrown away both original pieces - front and rear derailleur


Long story short question: Is there someone able to give me a hint which derailleur belongs to this bike?
I know it was a Huret and I can exclude a few from the pictures in the Internet. Though, to say definitely which derailleur model is the right one, I'd need to purchase them and hold it in my hands. Thus, any indication or copy from an original catalogue would be very, very much appreciated!

Thank you in advance

PS.: I'd love to post pictures, but I am still restricted to post minimum 10 posts before...
