What you're showing in your pictures is a typical Nishiki tubing decal from that era. Chrome Molybdenum is a high strength steel alloy used for lightweight bicycle frames. There was also Manganese Molybdenum (Reynolds 531). Double butted tubing has a thinner wall in the middle for lighter weight and thicker at the ends to withstand heat from brazing. This is the CrMo Double Butted Tubing decal in my Nishiki Ultimate.
