I'd be surprised to see a 50cm Windsor Pro made out of SP, but anything's possible...

RE: Re: [Classicrendezvous] New Windsor/Cinelli Question
Pretty sure it's a Windsor because of the seatpost size. Vintage Cinellis, as recently discussed, usually have 26.2 size seatposts. Since your's takes a 27.0, it's probably made of Columbus SP.
