You're probably right..
About my score yesterday. A gentlemen contacted me the other day if I'd be interested in his Colnago Mexico w. record. Asked him to send me some pictures. Turned out to be a Super Profil in Saronni red. Most parts are Campa NR although it had been updated to aero brake levers. Rear derailleur has patent 83 on it so I guess the bike dates from 1983. It has a great black panto stem which goes very well with the Saronni red. He bought it when new and was the first owner of the bike. Sometimes they just walk right into the door, couldn't be more happy with this bike..
Plan to keep it original but want to change to period correct non aero. Not sure if I'd make a full panto of it. I got a set of NISI wheels for free a while back, those would be great on it I think. Was my lucky day as the front hub was a 50th anni hub. Long term plan would be the 50th gruppo.

nice score, looks in decent condition
I could have bought the same frame in 'Dam a while back, Super profil
there really is a mass of misconception re Super Profil/Nuovo Mexico
this is listed as Nuovo, 50th anni gruppo also (over fucking 4k euro)
It is a Super Profil, misleading listing

I don't think there will be any differences other than the norm super/mexico differences,
the flickr author has his own"mexico" album, completly uncrimped

and the Kwantum catalog scan comes from an album entitled "Santour(sic) and Colnago"
well done with your score ook!
