Educated guess (opinion follows):
Clearly a Gran Sport from between 1960 to 1963 (no cable tension adjuster) with "CAMPAGNOLO" on body instead of the more common "CAMPAGNOLO GRAN SPORT" so it would probably, possibly (more opinion follows) be the last generation of the Campagnolo Gran Sport rear derailleur.
Not sure if this is an example of no one being able to identify this derailleur as much as no one wanting to bother? Also not aware of any Campagnolo derailleur that has not been identified before.
As to the unrelated question: I have never seen an Elefante shifter. I have asked a lot of people over the years and have never found anyone who has ever seen one. Maybe Mark Mattei or Larry Black can answer?
