Awesome. It does look like the profile is very very close to a Turbo. Perhaps it's a saddle worth trying at some point, since Turbos always worked for me. That cutout is certainly convenient for a two bolt seatpost.

I like Brooks Pro or UniCaNitor saddles with padded cycling shorts . Just remember there is a fanny for every saddle , or , you will know when you find the right one for you.

What are you using?
Depends on the bike.

The Rossin and Trek 930 got Selle San Marco Titanium Rolls saddles.
The Ideor Asso has an Selle Italia-produced suede Cinelli knock-off.
The Tommasini and Serotta Nova use Brooks Pro.
The Minestrini got a Selle San Marco Regal (the one with the rivets).
