Similar parts don't really say much about the bike. The serial no. may tell you something about the bike. Look on the inside of the fork. Do you see some sort of tab? If there is one, post a pic. High quality bikes often have a tab. Also a pic of the fork crown would be helpful. Look at the bottom bracket shell and see if it says anything besides the serial no. Also pics of the cable runs on the BB shell would be useful. At the end of the day, you may not be able to ID this bike accurately but it is a fine machine. Fix it up and ride it; it will treat you well for many, many years.
