This Italian eBayer has sold many restored bikes on eBay over the years and has access to correct decals, so I feel it is safe to assume in this case he has used the correct decals as he has done so in the past.
And bottom line... for me personally?... a perfect restoration is only ever going to be a reproduction of the original, so I place littl value on "perfect."
More obvious would be the lack of Bianchi pedals with the "B" in the cages; usually gone missing because they bent so easily!
