In fact, if you want to see a full Maaseh Elokeinu/Enosh piyut for
Yom Kippur (I don't know offhand if it's the same as ours), see
the Soncino Roman-rite Machzor of 1486 at the JNUL online book
site, pp. 213-4.

Interestingly, it has, for the first beracha, the same nusach as 
Shabbat Maariv - BA"Y EV"E Elokei Avraham, Elokei Yitzchak, V'elokei
Yaakov, Konei Shamayim Vaaretz.  Then it goes right to Misod chachamim
unevonim.  I don't think the later Roman-rite Livorno machzorim do,
they went to our more common Bavli nusach.
