have been through those catalogues/brochures in the past and was struck by how they tended to illustrate them with earlier editions of the individual models
also for this era we need to keep in mind the conditions of the boom where parts shortages caused frequent substitutions
i'll wager you shall have plenty of bits in your parts bins to make a very fine build here
would expect a pillar size of either 26.2 or 26.4
brake centres will be 56 and 67
original rear spacing 120
forgot to mention above that bottom bracket shell is Agrati "AM" pattern and is item Nr. 000.8507
Earnest employed a fair amount of Agrati bits on his frames around this era
