No, it doesn't. Beautiful bike, though!
Here are the posts on my 1977 Centurion Pro Tour with the original Dia Compe Model G brakes. Notice that the front of the fork crown isn't drilled! The rear side is tapped, which keeps the front looking sort of unique. I've also modified one of the bolts on the front to hold on my dynamo powered lamp, since there is no hole in the fork crown...
These types may be seeing something of a re-emergence in custom bikes since Paul's Components started making the Racer brake. I have a set of the conventional mounted ones, and they're nice brakes.
