The mystery frame has Bocama lugs and does not have a sand cast RG Fischer, Cinelli style bb shell. The seat stays on the MF are flat capped, unknown if it's a slug or a plate. The Montes all have a Masi style fluted seatstay, done with a little curved plate brazed to the stay, not a cast slug.

So no, no relevant similarities.
