Help me ID this frame?

I've been lurking around reading and learning for years as a try to figure out what the heck I'm doing. You guys have cleared the cobwebs for me on countless issues. About six years ago, when my bike was stolen and I started looking around for a replacement I fell in love with the look of classic steel bikes. I didn't know anything about them, just that they were pretty. I'm 6'5" and when I saw an ebay listing for a 65cm lugged frame I made what seemed like a lowball offer, and before I knew it the box was in my kitchen. I wrote up the storyhere. Here's what it looked like after the guys at the LBS helped me build it up:



The seller,a bike shop, listed it as a Windsor. There were no stickers. I figure Carrera Special or Sport? no idea of the year.
Then I saw this and thought maybe Carabela https://www.bikeforums.net/classic-v...questions.html
Other possibly helpful info: It came with the same Universal Mod. 61 brakes as that Carabela, that DuraAce front derailleur, and a Shimano headset.
