"Sheffield" hub ?
No listing in Velobase, no hits on google. Is laced to a Weinmann 27" clincher, was on a bike-boom basic Torpado, so that and the Simplex bit are period correct but quite possibly changes from the original equipment as other bits - rear wheel, brakes, crankset are clearly later changes.
Gnutti re-brand?

one parts maker who employed this name was Noli-Cattaneo
have not heard of them offering hubs
if a contract build as you suggest perhaps it was done for them
[MENTION=57649]iab[/MENTION] may be able to shed some of his considerable illumination here...

should you have a Gnutti from this era on hand you could pull the axles sets and compare them side-by-side
the final year for this model of Juy QR skewer was 1971
