Any ideas what's up with the raised braise spots on the seat stays where the half-moon bridge would normally be? (see album link below for close-ups)
AFA the braise spots, I would say it had the bridge and it was removed. It could still be an SC with the bridge. IIRC, Campag brakes were an option at one time. Mine did not have the bridge.

You can take a look at my photos for further comparison.
