Thank you, @doctor-bond , for those clear pictures. Looking at them I'm thinking that, with its curved back plate, the Deerhead might be just a bit better at preventing the chain to drop from the inner ring.

Missing a 54 ring middle as I did experiment with the 42/68 set upYou could build a nice octuple with that.

Alf used a 57 however a certain Nik Bowdler used a 77T ring in TT’s to good effect

I managed to solve my shifter issue (not having enough cable pull at the lever) by clamping the cable on the other side of the bolt on the FD (the side nearer the crank, further away from the frame). This gives enough pull for the FD to move onto the big ring without the lever going so far back. I seem to vaguely recall that there is a similar thing you can do with a Campagnolo Nuovo Record RD to allow greater travel on those, which I think was what prompted the thought somewhere in my mind. Anyway, it seems to work.
I'm not sure that'll be any use to anyone, or more to the point, that they will stumble across it here, but there you go. If you happen to have an old Campagnolo FD and a Stronglight/TA triple, that's the thing to do.
