There was another "S" brand that one of our members used to frequently mention (cause he owned one of the few examples) but I can't conjure up that name right now....definitely a rare one IIRC
Perhaps you are thinking of @T-Mar who was fond of and rode a Scapin back in the day?

Save for the circle the "S" is very similar?





Other differences and similarities will be found at the source of the above pictures.

Random shot of through chainstay RD cable routing on a random example found here.




Hope this is helpful?
Good Fortune with your project!
