Sean, I am no expert but see similar features in the Gitane Super Corsa maybe or Tour De France maybe? Gitane has some decal confusion between the SC and the TDF model which makes an ID harder to nail down. Their site says the main difference was Campagnolo dropouts vs. Simplex and spiked Vagner fork crowns. Then again, a TDF pic is on their site with Campy dropouts. http://www.gitaneusa.com/images/models/tourdefrance/1970GitaneTourdeFrance.jpg So ????
