There is no 1:1 mapping. As the NVR (Name Version Release) tells you,
the package is based on upstream curl 7.19.7, released in 2009:

http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2009-11/0023.html

On top of that, various security fixes, bug fixes, and enhancements have
been included. You can get the sources from the corresponding source RPM
package, e.g.:

curl http://vault.centos.org/6.7/os/Source/SPackages/curl-7.19.7-46.el6.src.rpm \
    | rpm2cpio \
    | cpio -div
