I guess it's possible that it's an earlier PX10 with early 70s decals. Kinda hard to tell if it's a repaint from photos.
Regardless, you may as well keep the 49 cranks, especially since chainrings are available and it can be rebuilt to triple or compact double or whatever you want.

I don't know about that. I've got nothing against either carbon or brifters. It's strictly a matter of appropriateness for the bike. Pepperoni pizza and chocolate ice cream might both taste good, but you wouldn't put a scoop of ice cream on your pizza, would you? Then again, it's up to the owner, and I'm no one to talk since I'm putting together a PX10 with lots of modern stuff on it myself. No brifters though...
