Portacatena time frame ?

I picked up a mystery Ciocc frame and fork somewhat recently. It was spray bombed Barney purple but looks to be more then a rattle can job though. I guess besides what model it is is a time frame of when it was maybe built. I thought it was maybe newer maybe mid to late 80's as it had two bottle cage mounts. But then it has the two threaded holes on the right dropout for a Portacatena setup. So I thought that kind of dated it to early 80's as but who says how long the predrilled dropouts were used for but from what I've read they were a pretty short lived item and concept as you had to lose a cog to use it.
