Requesting help with some specifics on components for a circa 1960-61 Olmo.

Purchased a weathered but mostly originally equipped Olmo. Obvious replacement components were rims, pedals (clips/straps), saddle. What should these be?

Thinking Campag steel pedals with Christophe or Balilla clips, Christophe or Lapize straps. Brooks B-17???

Otherwise, nicely equipped with earliest Campag alloy crank with dustcaps, Record rear and GS front derailleurs, bar ends, GS low flange hubs (chrome barrels/alloy flanges); Ambrosio Champion bar/stem, "OLMO" branded headset, Weinmann engraved centerpulls.

Decal on down tube reads: "Tipo Rondine" - is that the model name?

Any help appreciated.
