I can post more pix too. Thanks

thank you for writing
if you wish to discuss the orange example it would be best to commence a separate new textile on it
this thread begun to discuss the machine pictured in first post
before beginning thread it might be best to disassemble machine and make lots of pictures of the frame details and the fittings as well, forgetting not the "as found" images
in this way readers will be better able to assist you

fittings changes -
original brakeset Balilla Corsa 61, calipers and hangers original to cycle, levers replaced with Weinmann
original pedals would have been Sheffield, either model 655 or 665
original front mech would have been Gian Robert
original stem/bar set: likely 3TTT model Tourist
original saddle pillar: plain steel
drive chain and gear block: either Regina or Everest/CAIMI would be plausible

advisory -
this is a base model sort of machine roughly parallel to a Peugeot UO8 or Raleigh Gran Prix of the early 1970's and as such does not merit a great investment of treasure/time/heart
