John,
Your photo link is not what Amir was hoping for I think. As I recall the Campag pump head had two prongs for wedging in a frame joint and worked quite well. The two prongs he wanted to see were a pair of opposing frame mounted pump pegs I think. My Rene Herse has two pump pegs (one is actually a ball bearing wart on the rear dropout) mounted on the left seat stay. I like this position because you can pickup and carry the darn thing into the Cirque (don;t let the tires get dirty) by the top tube without knocking the pump off of, say a top tube mounting.
The original pump was the pull out hose variety but I never cared for them. I replaced it with a Silca with a rare Silca pump head with a small counter sunk molded hole in the head. The standard Silca frame fit pump had a pump peg hole molded into the curved top handle.
Campag or somebody like 'SILCA" would do well to reintroduce that steel pump head Campy used to make.

I have a Silca pump with an oval head, like the upper one here:
