Help Colnago frame identification

Hi,

My friend and I recently got this old Colnago bike for free and we're trying to identify what frame it is (year, model etc (brand)).
Actually, we're not even sure it's a real Colnago, it might be a knockoff with some Colnago decals slapped on...
So let's start with the bad news: it does not have the clover- or clubs-cutouts anywhere on the frame.
Instead it has small circle cutouts in all the places you would expect the clubs. It has no cutouts on the fork though.
Ok, so that led us to believe it was a Colnago Sport, since most of those don't have the clubs either... and to be honest, comparing the frame to other Colnago Sports, they really look alike.
It has some old Colnago decals which we think (after some google-ing around) date back to the early 70's.
The crank is an SR Apex which was manufactured in the early 80's.
Oh, and more bad news, no serial number on the BB either

Any help identifying this frame is very much appreciated


Pictures!











Thx!
