My Peugeot UO8 has the same setup with Simplex shifters. Oddly, I've never seen any other bikes beside French ones from that period that have any shifter braze-ons at all. The French have always been weird. Just to be different I'd like to buy a new all-French bike today. Between Look, Time, and Mavic you could come close but there just isn't anybody making French a derrailleur/shifter any more that I know of.
