German. Rims are later , as seen by the label style. So, wheels are not original, as you know the bottom bracket is a replacement.
Circlip is behind the upper pivot arm of the front derailleur, it holds it in place under load. I am pretty sure it's later, but a typical wear replacement item.
Thanks repechage

I decided to go red on the tape, try to bring some color out. Newbaums color is not overwhelming and fades quite easy so it should fit nice and still look classy. Couldn't find any Gaslo and based on above I imagine its not cheap. I'll keep my eyes open though and may pick up if I find a fair deal. I did some light polishing of the decals in areas to see how they would come out and a good amount of color came back. A little more flat than original but look pretty good.
Going with gray cable as the original was. It looks brown in pic but was yellowed, ends were gray.
Debating on the hoods, any generic Universals out there? The NOS stuff is higher than campy. The originals are in bad shape. Not trying to turn this into an expensive project as its not original or clean as I prefer.
