Here's the catalog scan for the '78 Super Le Tour 12.2. I don't see brazed on bottle cage bosses, though.
Those are horizontal drops too, not vertical.
Look for vertical-drop models first; chroming second.

In the mid-1980's, stamped vertical dropouts were not out of the question; they were used on MTB frames too.
It may not be a Schwinn - look at the right-hand badge screw. There isn't one. Toytech, can you pull the left screw out to expose the drilling pattern under the badge?
