Its just the different lugs I think. The King of Mercia has fairly regular shaped lugs, see here: https://www.merciancycles.co.uk/onli...v=79cba1185463
I have not got a pic of the standard Vincitore, but according to the Mercian website "The Vincitore standard model has the spearpoint head lugs, fork crown and hand-cut seat lug, with a hand-cut bottom bracket but without the long profiled spearpoints of the Vincitore Special."
I've got a Vincitore Special, and it has the more ornate lugs, seen here:
