nah. the clue reference because you uncovered an obscure clue to the history of the bike. You doin' the right things...
interesting to see the brazed over top tube cable routing. That was really not such a good idea, as water follows the cable into the top tube and rusts. that is bad when the tubing is as thin as a road bike. It also indicates a later '80's bike, because the earliest mainstream usage of through the top tube routing that I've seen is about '86 or so...
