NOS Tommasini with Oria tubing and Chesini forks?

Hi,

I'm wondering if anyone knows about a line of Tommasini's that used Oria tubing and Chesini forks?

(sorry I misspelled the thread title - must have had Orbea on the brain...)

Several NOS Tommasini's have surfaced from a seller in Sweden the past couple of weeks, and this one is different from other Tommasini's I've seen -- Oria tubing (not Columbus); Gipiemme dropouts (not Campy); a Chesini fork, and generally a lot less detailing than the other Tommasini's I've seen (e.g., no Tommasini or "T" engravings and cutouts on seat stays, bottom bracket, lugs, etc.)

This is the one I'm talking about:

(link corrected)

The same seller as a NOS Columbus-framed Tommasini much more similar to others I've seen (including mine):

Was the Oria-framed bike a lower-end bike in the Tommasini range? Or just different?
