My '87 Montello (estimated from the 1st gen Chorus parts, and the word of the shop where I bought it - they were reselling it for the original owner) has an SSxxx serial number. My early 80s Record has a single letter and 3 digits.
The Pinarello name on the bottom bracket is in a font that doesnt match either of mine. For that matter, both of mine have raised lettering for Treviso-Italy.
I'm curious about the paint as well - 6th photo its clearly blue but 3 or 4 photos down its clearly not - looks fairly rusty but also with no hint of shine to the chrome, if its chrome.

As was mentioned above, the seat post diameter should give you the answer.
