Looked through my cache of Paramount images, and somewhat surprisingly most of the early-mid 60s Paramount track bikes used the Campy Strada headset just like the posted (and beautifully prepped) blue Paramount, even though the GS Pista headset was certainly available. I do see a couple examples with Pista headsets, but they tend to be 1960-62 timeframes, and were not common.
