Many Tange frames had this "nipple" on the headtube. My '87 Tempo has one. I suppose it could be a pump peg for a TT frame pump, but I'm not sure. This nipple is perpendicular to the HT, which means it is angled down a bit from horizontal (at least my Tempo's is), so it is not in the best orientation to hold a horizontally mounted TT pump. Is there any other possible function for this HT nipple?
