I’ll definitely take a look at the axle cones for dates as well.
Btw the BB shell does have some markings but I’m unable to identify it due to wear but I’ll snap a picture to be sure.

MY ERROR!
you mentioned the Brampton of France drive chain in your initial post
these are prized by vintage enthusiasts in-the-know; especially fine are the caramel coloured ones
BTW -
this manufacturer was also a producer of pedals
advert of 1926 -

wrt your stem and bar questions -
the stem looks like an unstamped Cinelli to my eye as well
Titan brand bars are typically 27.0mm at the centre
if the stem is indeed Cinelli one would expect it to have a clamp size of 26.4mm
