Thanks to Craig Sheldrick for sending me this information via e-mail.

It seems Moto Guzzi changed the style of the brake levers for the loop frames. Some are straight while others (perhaps later?) have a dog leg.

Two different version of loop frame brake levers. Note the dog leg in the top brake lever.
