Seatpost size is a clue to how thick the tubing is. If it's 27.2 mm then you have a thorobred, but it's probably thicker heavier tubing, which results in a smaller seatpost bore. Those cheap stamped dropouts usually didn't go with thin light tubing.
That generic replacement fork is a shame, and sometimes it means the original was bent in a crash. Which could mean the frame is bent too. Not always of course; there are other reasons why a fork might get replaced.
