As for the crossed cables under the down tube- it is a very common practice, as it allows for a gentler curving of the cables from the handlebars to the adjusters. The original stem is probably a TTT, much prettier than the adjustable thing on there now.

My 1996 Veloce is very similar. The cables were crossed on my bike as well. Great bikes!
