Of course if you did chrome and paint that would call for new or newish looking parts as well. You could just wax that chrome. Do you like orange? Getting rid of the orange would decide it for me.
Probably not any original parts except headset, cranks, stem and maybe handlebars. Headset, cranks and stem are all rare and definitive for this bike. Keep the headset even if you have to have the races re-lapped. And if it still runs smooth be happy. Crank takes either 116bcd or 151 chainrings, either very available. Alloy T.A. Criterium rings are easy to get and would not be wrong here.
Velociao
Great place!
Gran Sport or Record RD depending on age would be fitting. All Mod B's I've seen has had top of the line components, just as SC.
Yes the parts that looks original are:
Headset
Cranks
Stem - steel?
Handlebars - steel?
And probably also:
Down tube twin gear cable clip, except the bolt
Chainstay clip
What does the text on the stem read?
New seat binder bolts are available at
Cyclomondo.
And yes the wolf ear lugs narrows down the timeframe.
What does the date stamp on the saddle rail read?
