Simplex Derailleurs - Plastic?

Looking at a Peugeot UO-8 on EBay, it is equipped with Simplex derailleurs, both of which appear to have plastic components where strength is required. Am I seeing this right? (the bike is supposed to be about 1975 vintage) Are the derailleurs original? How likely are 30-year old plastic components to break?
