MAFAC Competition clearance

I have some Mafac competitions that I want to use with braze ons. I want to put them on a bike with 32mm tires and fenders. Backup plan is some racers, but they aren't as spiffy looking. I know I have to measure reach, there were 3 versions. Looking online, it seems like some of the longer reach Competitions have been used on a bike like I'm building. The back plate that comes on the stock brake actually takes up 10mm of clearance. And the Peugeot PY 10 had the brake bridge really low, so clearance was an issue with that bike as well.

I find some pictures of a MAP randonneur that has competitions. Only reference I found was on an ebay auction through Pinterest though. Which I don't seem to be able to get through to find out what kind of tires it had on it.

Anyone have any examples?
