Since it's a straight bore we can rule out an integrated headset.

It's possible that your bike used reducer inserts at both ends of the head tube, or possibly took a 1-1/2" headset of the type used on DH bikes. Refer to Sheldon Brown's cribsheet here and see if any possibilities make sense to you.
