Looks like a Victory/Triomphe crankset, brake levers look older Euro jobbers, brake calipes look like Monoplanars maybe? Rear derailleur looks like Triomphe but don't put money on it but I'd put a few bucks on black and let it ride.

That's a Victory crankset and front derailleur. I'm not sure what the other stuff is. For what it's worth, Victory is an excellent and underrated group.
EDIT: Actually, that looks like a Croce d'Aune rear derailleur. Sure looks wacky.

I should've mentioned that the reason I know the brakes aren't original is that there is paint where the brakes attach have marks from previous calipers.

Turns out I can barely make out a AGC marking on the first caliper pictured, so I guess you're right about Aero Gran Compe. I've actually got some random Dia Compe hoods that I pulled off a bike. They definitely didn't fit the levers they were on... Here's hoping they fit these.
Are most caliper springs universal? These have kind of rusted out.

I think the hubs are Athena (judging by the skewer nuts), I'm guessing the wheelset was upgraded at some point. Sure wish I had the original Croce d'Aune hubs. I'm guessing the wheelset was tubular and therefore the original owner changed it out.
As requested, here is a photo. It turns out to be a 1990 Mondiale. Year is stamped in BB as 90c. Chrome stay.
I've definitely got my work cut out for me, lol.

Now that Im viewing the bike on my computer instead of my phone I can see that they are blue geckos stickers. The rest of the paint looks amazing so hopefully they are just covering little chips? I think this is going to turn into one beautiful bike. Don't worry about keeping the saddle original though, lol!

ARRRGGGGGHHHHH ! ----- i saw this bike on CL (i live in Norman) -- then promptly ignored it because i looked at the torn up seat and riser stem !
FACE SLAP - big FACE SLAP !

But------ its awesome that you got a decent deal for your diligence and trouble --- i genuinely hope you get some good rides out of it ----- From the tone of the original owner's value - (well, maybe not the OG owner, but the crew you bought it from - LOL) inquiry post, it doesnt sound like the bike was properly appreciated in the hands it was in
