I dont recall seeing a Giro d'Italia with that seat cluster when I was trying to ID my frame .
Interesting find .
The Carlton ad on your Flickr page indicates the Giro d'Italia is fully chromed and the Team BMB is the blue frame with yellow panels. The Giro sticker on BigChainring's top tube seems to suggest the only difference between these two models is the frame finish.
There is a similar Carlton ad, for the Giro d'Italia, on Peter Kohler's blog about the Mark II-IV Raleigh Professionals here:
On the Drops - Raleich Mark II Professional
Great to see both of these bikes!
