'72-ish(?) Super Champion

I have two of these orange bikes, a '75 Champion Team, and a 72 (I think?) Super Champion, which appears in all respects to be a Champion Team save for the name. Still not quite sure of its origin, but my theory is that it might be a European model. For both of these, I kept the paint as is. The Champion Team was raced hard back in the day, and I bought it from the original owner, who btw had a matching track bike. He also had the components anodized black back in the 70s by a shop in SoCal. The Super Champion's paint, while not perfect, is in much better shape.
