Ambrosio Volte Campione del Mondo bars

I just bought these bars on eBay because they weren't too expensive, and I thought the bend was interesting:



Here's another shot of some on a nice (Flying Scot) bike from the rear:



Does anyone have a set of these? Comments? They may turn out to be a bit narrow for me, at least on top, since I usually ride 44 cm, and these are 43, with quite a bit of splay as you can see.

Does anyone know of an Ambrosio catalog online, or one showing the various Ambrosio models?

I'm building a 1984 Motobécane Team Champion, which originally sold with Cinelli 64s (Giro d'Italia). Do you think that these Ambrosio bars would be appropriate, or should I hold out for the 64? My only Cinelli bars are 66 (for deep-chested wasp-waisted macho men, whom I cannot impersonate).
