Are they really Capella?? ... not the profile I associate with Capella
I can assure you they are. The BB shell uses Nervex.

This looks great ... I was mystified back a ways re the three quarter rear view of the Capella lugs but now see them full frontal - mystified no more. My Cobra has a later headstock badge with the cyclist graphics in pretty good nick. I've held off putting it back on because I wasn't sure that the seriously degraded blind rivets that I removed during the refurb were correct. I sourced some interference fit spiral rivets but these apparently aren't right. Question is, can I get the correct rivets anywhere? I haven't seen anything that small and have been fiddling with a larger rivet trying to get it down to the correct size - to no avail thus far. Every time I go out for a gallop - without the badge - I'm pleasantly reminded how comfortable the bike is. They certainly got something right.
Marvellous! Seek and one shall find. Many thanks.Thanks for your reply. Rivets can be sought from Dave Marsh at the Universal Cycle Centre, in Maltby, Yorks.
Had the first pic back from Dave Marsh In Maltby of the nearly finished frame. Just head badge, fork and races to go back on...
