I can't help much, if at all but it looks like a genuine 'Profil CX' to me. I think Saronni rode a standard Nuovo Mexico Profil with the shifter bosses on the sides of the down tube. I think your new Profil CX is a little known model and probably a precursor to the more well known 'Oval CX'. I really like the shifter boss located on the top of the down tube. Do the gear cables run internally from the boss?
I wish it was in my 'stable'. Your description is great to read and has made me feel a little jealous.
