The Miche headset is OEM spec and just another sign of Bianchi's penny pinching. By this time you couldn't even get a full Formula II frameset. All the Formula II models were tretubi versions with lower grade Aelle stays. The ill performing Syncro levers are also OEM spec. The only non-OEM components that I can see are the saddle and pedals.
