If you're interested and want to keep the things more original I have proper half-hoods for yours Mafac levers (course 121). They are black and have little cracks and tears, so not perfect but usable. Or you can try your luck on ebay, NOS black hoods: 390505295782 (they are in France, auction ends in 4 days). White hoods or other colour are harder to find, but sometimes appear.
Very interesting bike, it will be very elegant when you finish. Good choice with the saddle, now brown or honey Brooks tape will fit perfectly.
And another small thing you might want: http://www.retrobike.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=232506&highlight=
