That's what I'm leaning towards too, at least for the cable tunnels. The long dropouts pretty much disappeared from use after 1977, when the short, Portacatena dropout was released. The eyelet-free dropouts first appeared in the 1974 catalogue. So, 1974-1977 seems the most probable date range. They definitely had brazed-on bottle and lever bosses by then but the cable tunnels were pretty rare.
