The height of the DT water bottle is very low also.
I'll have to check the angle of the dropouts, which is done how? and post it. I am a tad worried about the drops too but I am hoping if this turns out to be a nice frame a good frame builder can spruce them up for me. I suspect they were the result of some fixiefying.

A small update... I just popped out the HS in hopes of dropping this at a media blaster tomorrow and found blue paint in the HT that seems to match the fork so perhaps that means the fork is atleast original. Now wether the frame is Tange too is another story.
