What model of Shimano brake levers do I have (need new hoods)

The hoods on my Shimano brake levers are disintegrating into a sticky mess, leaving black stuff on my hands and gloves. I need to replace them.

Can someone please tell me which model of Shimano brake levers I have? Will the Tiagra hoods sold by Rivendell fit?

They look like BL-R600 (or BL-R400). Peel back the hood and the model will be printed on the outside of the lever body.

I have some 105 and 600 aero levers from the 80s with the same shape. If RX100, Tiagra, 105 and 600 were the same, I would think they must have used a universal shape across the lineup. I bet the ones you linked would fit just fine.

Thank you! I peeled back one of the hoods (tearing it in the process) and the model is BL-6403.
