Bet yours has a 27.2 seat post and rifling in the steerer, bet the Olmo shown does not. Add to this all the other details (forkcrown and even the TT guides which are similar but no match). I'd say Olmo is one contender, but I wouldn't close the case...yet...
I'd still like to see those additional pics.
This is a photo of my frame that I also believe to be an Olmo. There is no chrome, however it is a Columbus frame set with the fork stamped "Columbus" (rifling in the steerer) and a 27.2 seat tube and Campy dropouts. However it should be noted that the lug work is quite a bit nicer than the OP's.
