Edit: you will want to close up (carefully) that drive-side DO slot.
Haha very Canadian indeed I'm not familiar with tapered seatstay: when were they in use?

The fork is Tange and most certainly a replacement. Therefore the HS threading is likely standard. The bike also came with nice campy parts (see above link) but also crappy wheels.
Edit: The upper cup/lock nuts are from a Tange headset though, while the frame cups are campy, so the original fork might have been French.
