Am I missing something or are they just hard to come by?
They're rarer than centre pull brakes with a single centre bolt fitting, simply because the latter are much cheaper to integrate into a frame. Check the parts diagrams, some of the Mafac brakes with a centre bolt fixing are just the stud mounted brakes with a bridge plate, so you can take them apart and use the arms on brazed on studs.

Here's the rear end, I'm finding it hard to find any mafac brakes that don't have the nut and bolt fitting for the fork crown/brake bridge. Am I missing something or are they just hard to come by?
You can also see the cable guide in the photo which is what originally made me think it was a traditional centre-pull.
