Help Needed in Identifying early 1980s Frame.

Hoping that someone can help shed some light on a frame builder for a bike I saved from heading to a dump in Sydney, Australia.

The frame indicates Reynolds 531 Professional Tubing (early 1980s?) and has Campagnolo dropouts, Cinelli Criterium bars and quill stem, Fiamme wheelset with Spidel hubs and is fitted with a near complete Campagnolo 50th....

Heart shape embellishment visible

The star embellishments around the bottle cage screw

BREV CAMPAGNOLO

Kite shaping with unidentifiable marking inside

...Anniversary Groupset minus the brake lever hoods. The 50th hubs have never been fitted and were in pristine condition sat with the bike.

The frame itself has 3 Campagnolo sticker decals (???), no serial numbers or pantographs and only minimal embellishments in and around the lugs.

Really hoping someone can cast an expert eye over the photos and offer any information as to a possible builder before I start restoration.
