Subject: [CR]'70 Colnago question

I finally have some pictures of a project I just completed for my friend and fellow CR list member Marty Walsh (who's still lurking in the shadows). The project was more reclamation than restoration, as most of what I did was rebuild it. Thanks to the CR list and people like Mike Kone and Nelson Miller, I easily acquired the small bits needed to complete the project. Marty says he will bring the bike to the Cirque in May, but I thought some might like to see it now.

My question is, would the frame have had cable/housing guides in 1970, or would it be likely that they were added later (I know the frame was repainted)? What about bottle cage braze-ons? I know different manufacturers made this transition at different times, but what was Colnago doing in 1970?
