I don't think that too much accuracy can be derived from the weights unless allowance is made for the fact that yours has been repainted and likely clearcoated too. The early Colnagos with original paint appear to have only a very thin coat of paint evident from the sharp definition of the lugs and clover cutouts and they weren't clearcoated.
Just guessing but I'd imagine a modern paint and clearcoat could weigh in at around 400/500g which could be considerably more than an original and then there's the deviation in weight of the non Colnago fork to throw into the mix.
On a side note I'm sure the C40 documented weight is 1400g but several people have weighed their c50s in 53/54 size and they came in at around 1100g (c50 has bigger tubes than c40 but reported to be only 15g heavier)
