After an initial fiasco with Raleigh, Centurion began sub-contracting bike builds in japan, and also mexico (they were one of 4 cinelli copiers, i believe, including raysport, carrera, and of course, windsor.)

The centurion-by-cinelli bikes (are those 'equipe' models?) were done for a short time in the early 1980's maybe 1981. This bike looks like a crude asian or mexican cinelli copy, and a 1970's model - not the real deal made in italy.

The real centurion-by-cinellis have cinelli spoiler bottom brackets.
