The braze on is different for Campag.
The Huret/Cyclo/Simplex braze on has a specific pre ISO thread (M5 x1.0mm) and a different shaped boss.Juy 51/53 Will need a right side double shifter which are scarce and fetch £60-100 (or more, I hope -I’m going to sell one shortly).
A 51 with suicide changer would be right.

That'll be good, I'll look forward to the pic. I see about the lever-more common than I realised I guess. I'm torn between getting a Simplex Tour de France or Juy 51/53 or a possibly more practical (and easier to set up I think) early Campagnolo Gran Sport rear derailleur. I'm leaning toward the simplex as I can't help but feel that if someone in '52 had invested in a Gran Sport rear they would have the front equivalent as well and not some old-fashioned rod changer.....possibly this is taking 'period correct' too far !
