another ebay auction answered my question, at least with regard to the track bike Skip outed earlier.
This auction:
shows a Basso-built Pogliaghi track frame, as verified by the seller, who has seemed pretty reliable in the past.
So, the bike Skip seems to be a Basso as well...
None of this is in any way a slam at either of these items: they both look like very tidy Basso frames..
