Are the gear levers SunTour or Campag.? Is it full-Columbus, or Columbus Tre Tubi (main triangle)?

I have a 1981 Campione d'Italia; the serial number wraps around the seat lug, and original equipment included Ofmega cranks and hubs, Campag. NR derailleurs, and Modolo Speedy brakes. Mine has the Tre Tubi (3 main tubes = double-butted Columbus, rest = some lesser carbon steel, or as someone else suggested to me, seamed CrMo). Lugs (Campag. vs. other Italian brands) are another way to determine frame quality.
