In fact not full DA< My Bike does have a Athena headset at the moment, then hopefully getting a DA ITL headset when I see a good one. Could pass over when found if you need?
As you said forks look bit strange, but reckon true to frame, chrome looks good. Kind of looks like they were fully chromed then stripped back?
Merckx Extra Frames can be strange, Part/Full chromed rear triangle, Chromed forks or not.
Hitachi race frames even seen in Reyonlds 653, and sponsored by Mavic componants.
