Thanks. Mine are 9sp, but as I just said, I'm just wondering about cable pull for the front mech, not the rear. (Basically, if the front derailleurs are interchangeable, I can leave them--one is braze-on, the other is clamp/band.)

Braze vs. clamp-on won't make a difference. It it says QS on it, for Quick Shift, then you'll have to find shifters that also say QS on them. Otherwise, Campagnolo is interchangeable with Campagnolo when it comes to FDs.
