if you go back thru the old Campy catalogs, like on the Campybike CDs, there are a bunch of Racing Triples, in different grades and in different years. I have a set on my Woodrup that I thought were modern, but which turn out to be 8-speed era. I use 'em in friction mode with 7-speed, so it doesn't matter much. On my RD it looks like somebody replaced the rear cage with some other brand, it doesn't match any of the drawings in the Service Parts books. But like I said, works great in friction mode.
As far as the FD, I'm told the front brifter is basically a ratcheded friction shifter, so any front derailleur should feather into place with any Campy left brifter. Make sense?
For the rear, I assume detective work is needed to identify the year/grade and to match it up with brifter year, and especially what gear system it's configured for.
