Bikes: a few that I can't recall

Need help identifying "old?" Bianchi

I hate to start a new thread, but....
I posted in the other thread, but it has gotten pushed down too far
Ok. Lets not start a new thread when all the experts are here. In fact it's pretty much a family tradition by now.

Traded for one of my precious Suntour Ultra-6 freewheels:
One Bianchi frame, repainted Celeste, but appears to have always been Celeste after peeking inside.
Serial number on headtube 4B xxxxx
Long Campagnolo dropouts, with a cast notch on the rear of the NDS dropout. Never seen that on any bike.

wierd notch, plus divers helmet in background with 4,5mm I.D.

No braze ons AT ALL besides divers helmet.
Bianchi styled headset, not built in but "rounded".




Faux integrated headset
Fork seems original, but crappy brazing on chromed faux Campagnolo dropouts



Seatpost 26.2mm

I would like help to figure out what year / era to repaint and finish this build. I have a set of Campagnolo 3 bolt Sport cranks that would look great, along with chrome steel Valentino (?) derailleurs if this is early. I have smooth 5 bolt Campagnolo if its late Bianchi.
