Don't know about your levers specifically but a lot of flat bar levers these days have an adjustment for cable pull, so they can be used either with v-brakes or canti/caliper brakes. Pull the lever back and see if there is some mechanism for moving the pivoting cradle which holds the head of the cable between two slots, sometimes marked "c" and "v" (the canti/caliper one will be closer to the lever pivot). You may have to pop out a little rubber or plastic plug or rotate a notched cylinder to move the cradle between the two slots. If so, than the new levers should work great with caliper brakes with the cradle in the "c" slot.
