Mark this day down, you were right and Chas. was wrong!
It gets more complicated now that I remember... About 10 years ago I bought 2 NOS cups on eBay listed as French. When I got them I found that they were Swiss, decided to keep them, just in case!
Newer style Stronglight Competition fixed cups had 2 wrench flats and were marked with the size. Swiss cups were the only size that had a ring in the face.
Older Stronglight Swiss cups had 8 flats and no rings vs. French with 8 flats and 1 ring.
French - 1 ring
British - 2 rings
Mystery - 3 rings ???
Sutherland's Handbook info is confusing/wrong.
