never seen that before. Based on the only clues in one pic I'd say it has graphics not seen on any of the classic 1980's CIOCC frames but sticker is a variation on the "Designer '80 or '84" decal usually displayed on the top tube on forward RH side and the text below "CIOCC" was the mysterious (to me, anyhow) "Microf C.40"...could be this inspired somebody to make that example shown read "Concour 40", and equally mysterious.

Are there any more (and better) pix available of this frame?

My initial thought: this may not be a genuine CIOCC, but possibly (if lucky) one built or "restored" by Pelizzoli's current shop and they had to alter the old graphics...maybe.

EDIT: Now I take it back, I did come across an example that does appear to have similar graphics to the OP's (but not sure what else it may share) and it's an SLX frame, certainly not built by The Man himself but during the Bonati firm's production of the marque. This one with DA gruppo sold for $1000 by those Swiss Guys AKA steel-vintage.com and no "Concour 40" sticker on it:
