Not sure what you mean on the downtube braze ons being different, most of my 80's Schwinn's have those unless they were cheaper models with stem mounted shifters but I have the cable stop covers and most likely will use bar end shifters on this build. Appreciate the heads up - took me a while to figure that out on a prior build!
Take a look at this link. It describes the kind of bosses that came on my 85 Voyageur (though the article is about a Raleigh of the same era). That standard did not last long and finding parts is not easy but if you already have parts, then you are fine.. I ended up doing the cable stop conversion that the article recommends.
