I've seen the same hubshell on a relatively low-end Colnago. I suspect Ofmega as well, since they made the bike's Colnago signature crankset and were a prolific Italian hub maker.

I also remember Taiwan clones of this hubshell (from the 1990's), some even with cartridge bearings. Quando brand perhaps.

But I think that both Wheelsmith and Mavic hubs had this shape before the Italian clones appeared in the 1980's.
