In regards to frame construction, you do have a fillet-brazed machine here. One look at the seattube (the diameter difference can easily be spotted by eye if you've practiced to differentiate the models on sight) and the taper of the seatpost gives it away as a 4130 machine as opposed to electroforged. Considering the Ashtabula BB (the Sports Tourer, next in the lineup, was equipped with a "proper" three-piece BB setup), I wouldn't hesitate to say this is a Super Sport.

I wouldn't find it unusual that it doesn't have a 4130 decal on it though - why should it, if the downtube decals are missing as well?

P.S.: I've never seen a Continental or Varsity with conventional braze-on cable housing stops on the top and down tubes.
