A real Mexico has no crimps, it looks just like a Super but is built from ultralight KL/Record tubing. A Nuovo Mexico would have two crimps in the top tube and four in the down tube.
This looks like a Super Profil. two crimps in the top tube, two in the down tube and one each in the inside of the chain stays.
If I had to guess from the photos it looks like a Version 3.
