Identifying unknown Racing frame equipped with Mixed Campagnolo (French Threaded BB)

Hey! I've had this bike for years and finally want to solve the mystery of what frame it is. It looks so close to many mid-late 80s frames but nothing quite fit the bill. It's been repainted and doesn't have any real identifying marks, possibly sanded off or never had them to begin with.

It's a French Threaded Bottom Bracket

Groupset Part List
The crank is triomphe

Brakes are likely Chorus from the dashes on the lever itself
Shifters are probably record but i find it weird that most else is chorus
Rear derailleur looks like Chorus
Front Derailleur looks a lot like Chorus to me as well. As with chorus and record from that era, there are lots of similarities
Hubs I believe are chorus as well

Cinelli stem (likely not original)
unknown seatpost
Minimal Lug ornamentation
braze-on Front Derailleur
Possibly non-original fork but hard to tell with the repaint but follows some similar styling
about a 55cm size
Small Manufacturer stamp markings on the headset lugs
No dropout markings or serial on the bottom of BB or on the inside, nothing inside the seatpost either.

Part of me might think newer with some of it's styling but with the bottom bracket it throws a wrench making it closer to early-mid 80s depending since many french manufacturers moved to other threading around then.

Thanks for all your help, knowledge and wisdom and please let me know if there are any other pictures that would be helpful!
