As you mentioned in the other thread, the most likely answer is that you have an Italian threaded HS with a 26.5mm crown race.
A frame that passed through my hands had an ITA HS fitted to ISO forks: the steerer had been peened (correct term?), using a punch at an angle to raise the surface at intervals around the circumference.
The race was secure and I'd guess it had been used like that for some time (Seventies frame); I wouldn't like to say whether this is preferable over a shim.
