Changing only file permissions

Hello,
  opensuse 13.2
  linux v3.16.7-7-desktop x86_64
  rsync v3.1.1

  I used rsync to copy /usr/ to another volume with these options:
- --recursive --one-file-system --links --stats --itemize-changes
- --quiet --delete --times
After I had modified the system to use the new /usr volume, I realized
I should have added:
- --perms --owner --group --executability

  So the target volume has everything set as "root root", and useful
bits like the SetUID mode are missing.

  Is there a way to use rsync to restore only the
permissions/owner/user and mode flags on the target volume from the
source volume?
