Centurion Ironman frames?

I've read about who built frames for the Ironmen but it's confusing. Can someone tell me who built these 2 Ironman frames?
The red one is a 87 expert and the green one is a 87 Master

The frames were manufactured by Japanese company named Nomura.

Am guessing that is a mid 80's Dura Ace shift cable. They were somewhat stouter than the ones we see today. And more flexy-able.

Well, I mean, after all - the word "Centurion" is from the Latin, and Latin is what the Romans spoke, and Rome is in Italy. So........

They were originally built to be raced in the Coliseum, right?....

Yes. They were real, and they were spectacular.

Could be a motorcycle cable?

It's odd that they're different width. Maybe the FD cable was replaced more recently?
