Thanks all.
The best guess on LFGSS was for a bottle cage, but you'd think they'd stick the pump on the top tube and the second cage in the usual place.
I suppose the fact it has pump pegs, dates it to before the position of bottle cage bosses became standardised. However, it has top tube cable guides, DTS bosses and an under the BB cable guide, so it can't be that old.
The bosses also seemed quite prominent compared to the usual, but I guess that would be to clear the seat post clamp.

It's a hellenic style frame and with the pump peg and pump mount on the seat tube the only place to go with the second bottle cage was the back of the seat tube. I'd have put the pump peg on the under side of the top tube and the second bottle cage on the front of the seat tube,

Bikes of that quality were designed and spec'd to use a 150-200mm post.
