That batch of Colnagos is ca. 1980-1983. They were made (I think) specifically for an American distributor, West Coast Cycle Supply. The design and ride are spot-on for most non-racers' road use, they were a good Northwestern frame with long brake reach, tons of tire room, and eyelets. It has been my privilige to ride a couple in my size after working on them. The same time frame, WCCS also had some Colnago frames labeled as "Nishiki," and Western STates Imports (now Diamondback) had some frames allegedly made by Cinelli and labeled as Centurions.
