The correct term for those is "dropouts". Can you determine the type of bottom bracket threading? The most common are English and Italian. Measure the width of the frames's bottom bracket shell. If it's 68 mm it's probably English threaded and if it's 70 mm it probably Italian. A bike shop could tell you for sure. All of these details will help with the ID or at least indicate a country of origin and time period.
