Thanks everyone. I do plan to keep all of the parts intact so I can put it back to original if I ever desire.

The Camapg catalogue published 1967 shows this component still fitted with the housing stop. Perhaps the machine's original front mech was replaced at some point. Judging by the cycle's general lack of wear indications, if this took place it may have been due to misadventure.
Or is the housing stop there but bypassed by assembler? Despite the numerous good images of the bike there is no view of the backside of the front mech. Thanks for any information.
Cleaned up very nicely; excellent work!

The FD does have a cable stop, but as you said it's not being used due to the bolt on cable guide.

"MADE in JTALY" stem?
From
TTT main :
By 1963 Ambrosio had introduced the "Gran Prix" stem, which updated the "Champion" by eliminating the point at the rear, behind the edge bolt head (Evian Cycles catalog, 1963, page 43). This was soon updated again, to a recessed allen-key wedge bolt. Some of these stems included the text "MADE IN JTALY" (sic) on the right side, and "GRAN PRIX" on the left.
