"SPORT" lug pattern and dropouts Agrati, Malaguti style seat lug

most helpful dating aid is Freres Huret gear ensemble
suspect rear mech and shift levers to be original, front mech may be later

rear mech appears to be the Tour de France model;
catalogue page of 1956 -


for reference, here is the page of front mechs from the same catalogue of 1956; note that the bicycle's front mech had not as yet launched -


interesting to note that when someone made up the brake set they paired Weinmann levers with Universal calipers and provided for no quick release; cycle appears a bit too early for Universal 61 calipers so they must be a post-manufacture fitment; perhaps original calipers were Weinmann...
