I used to have or may still have an Italian handwritten photocopy Autodelta parts catalogue & pricelist for the GTV6 and I seem to remember that in fact the DeDion tube was listed as being "Ergal". I also remember being struck by the stupendous price for the piece. At the time I didn't know what Ergal actually was and I looked it up. But memory is fallible.

Certainly Ergal is available in tubing and it certainly would make sense to use that material in a race vehicle given the weight of the original DeDion set-up.
