I think juvela nailed the origin (no surprise there

).

Do you have a side view of the head tube and the fork crown? Are the head lugs integral with the head tube or actually brazed onto it? The fork crown and head tube look a lot like those of my first road bike, a bargain basement "Bianchi" (presumably contract-built by Chiorda) my father bought for me for Christmas, 1962 for $55 at Wheel World, Culver City, CA.
