you can hold a plate style gear hanger up to the Juy one to use it as a guide as to where to cut/grind the stop. most any brand other than Juy or Huret shall suffice. just mark where you need to cut with a crayon or felt marker.

thank you for the new information
it tends to support the idea of a low countries origin for the frame
[curtains close for a moment whilst juvela dons his deerstalker cap]
am going to make a guess that frame originates with Flandria
they were the first manufacturer in europe to adopt Shimano for pro bikes in 1973

Flandria far and away Belgium's largest producer from a unit volume standpoint
they did a good deal of contract work
if shell width is 70mm yet is BSC threaded that would be another piece of supportive data...

thank you
a NERVOR steerer is what one would have expected (french tubing maker)
no relation to Etablissements Peyrard (NERVAR)
a sixty-eight mm shell does not rule out Flandria while a seventy would have tended to rule it in
Belgium seems to be a real homeland for contract builds
---
tubing note -
the 27.0mm pillar size tells you the three main tubes are db
when you get the fittings out of th shell you will be able to examine chain stay interiors
would expect them to exhibit seams

So as mentioned I decided to move some of the good bits over to this Gitane Pro TdF Service Course. Just have to figure out how to get the Shimano Adamas rear brake to work better, add the new tubulars and Bob's your uncle. Took it for a test flight last evening and the old rear Vittoria started to fail after about 10 Km. Haha. Good thing my daughter can drive now!
