I am pretty sure you need one of each, and I'm also fairly sure I have what you're looking for in my bin though it sounds like Jim does as well.
My Grand Sports from the same era has 610 in front and 750 in the rear. I think the frames are very close to the same, save lugs and dropouts. I am hoping to acquire either a "red" or "black" set of the Vanquier 999's. I don't need N.O.S., but I also don't want to get a set with deep gouges or heavy scratching.
As for levers, I don't need hoods. I would need the clamps that attach to the bars though. Would prefer a set with the quick release feature, but I can compromise there.
edit - for posterity's sake, the '73 (or is it '75? the top of the numeral is unreadable) International takes 610's front and rear.
Thanks.
