That can't be because Mafac holders are longer. If you have a source for the correct length for Mafacs, please share! I've got Mafacs on three bikes. I've got Kool Stop mountain shoes on two of them. They work great, but I don't like the look.
I case you haven't guessed, M was for Mafac, W was for Weinmann and C was for Campagnolo.
I got mine from one of the ebay sellers I regularly use here in the UK, I can't remember clearly now but it could well have been ebay username "Carltoncycles" - £8.00 for a set of four blocks, New Old Stock. I actually bought them for a pair of Campagnolo Record side-pulls but when the brakes arrived the original Campag pad were fine, so I put them in the Mafac shoes instead. IIRC, they were described as to fit 'Mafac, Campagnolo and similar brakes'. I don't know if there are any more available from this source, there was only one item listed in the ebay auction and that was two or three years ago.
I might still have the card off the top of the bag somewhere - if I have and can find it, I'll check the model. I think they would have been too long for the Records anyway, even though I sent details of the brake in a message to the seller when I bought them!
