Don't know, but I've seen pictures of him riding a Merckx bike.

Consistent letter-setting wasn't really a thing back then so you'd see differences in text between jerseys.
Tracing whatever it is you want in illustrator would give you a truly faithful representation.

You could have an educated guess based on what you already have I suppose.

I have to identify fonts fairly often for various reasons.
I use these two sites:
https://www.fontsquirrel.com/matcherator
http://www.identifont.com/identify.html (the wizard on this is great)

This site is often worth trying - the results of the automated search can be a bit hit and miss but there's also a forum where you can ask for a differently educated opinion:

Ah! That looks better than WTF...
It gives me this for the Faema logo, which looks like a reasonable match, give or take a few details:

Great sites - I'm getting closer but haven't quite got it yet

You won't get it exactly. As people have said up thread, logos would be individually drawn, not typeset.
Eg years ago, I saw a specification for the DEC logo. The two "I"s are different.
But you will find a font that gives you the same feeling as the jersey.

Try this? Let me know - should be an orange jersey that says MOLTENI on a black background
