Not necessarily since Shimano made sealed BBs in both BSC and Ital, but you could probably both measure the width of the shell (68mm or 70mm?) and/or find the notation on the BB unit that tells you (may require removal for that).
I can't tell what brand those lugs are, but the seat stays are single-taper and a 26.8 could be a plain-gauge 531 seat tube,OR Aelle tubing, OR a Japanese tube like Tange or Ishiwata. I still think the other details (tho there aren't many) point to a Brit frame so if that seat post is correct size, I'd lean toward the plain-gauge 531.
Still just guessing.
