You could probably make something that would work better. I'm thinking
of an L-shaped piece of sturdy steel that bolts on behind the brake
caliper, projecting upward and out over the caliper. Drill a hole in
it and tap said hole for a barrel adjuster. Of course, making it look
elegant is more challenging. What sacrifices we make to use old French
parts!

On the other hand, many such centerpull cable stops actually attached
under either end of the seatpost binder bolt (rather than in the
middle). You'd have to get clever to make one of these work with Riv's
recessed seat binder bolts. Also, these are usually unsightly, IMO.

Or you could just use the modern sidepulls for which the frame was
intended, and enjoy both improved performance and ease of installation/
adjustment.
