Can anybody help with the age of my Urago frame?

It does have 82 stamped under the bottom bracket, does this mean 1982?

It has Brev Campagnolo dropouts, i think its got a Gnutti bottom bracket and GB 70 stem.

Very Classy :)

Lugs, fork rake, braze-ons for 5 speed with cable split, no oil port on the BB, head badge puts it in the 60's era maybe a bit before, maybe a bit after.

Shaun got there first, agree completely, the Gnutti cotterless was dead by late 50's. A P C (Johnny) Bowles imported Uragos about that time, and I had 50 Gnutti cotterless from him for very little.
 
Don't remember those Gnutti coming into the shop, the nearest was a normal sort of cotterless axle but with the half of the axle opposite the flat ground into a triangle that fitted into the crank. Can't remember the name and it's going to annoy me now !

Shaun, TA did one, imported by Ron Kitching, not very popular, By the mid 50's we were selling Stronglight 49D with TA rings. I had a 49A in 1951.

Definitely TA. I had one and let it go! Great for getting the chain line right as you could slide the crank on the axle. You just had to make sure you didn't lose the fixing bolts/washers/'nuts'.
