Looks like a "standard" steel head tube to top tube lug, maybe for a 73 degree frame.

There seem to be a lot that look like that. Even my 2002 Mercian has similar window lugs.
Maybe either Bocama competition:

Or maybe Haden Professional?

And you could probably expand that into several Japanese manufacturers. Knowing the brand of frame and vintage may help to narrow it down. More importantly, are there any stampings on the lugs themselves, other than the angle?

Agreed, not a Cinelli and not a touring model. Probably circa 1974-1977 based on what appears to Campagnolo long dropouts in conjunction with a Cinelli BB shell having bottom cable guides.
Based on the Cinelli decal, I wouldn't assume the Columbus decal is correct. Check for Columbus' five helical ridges on the inside of the bottom of the fork's steerer tube, to be sure.
