1973 Raleigh

[Joker]

I have what I assume is a 1973 Raleigh - it has Capella lugs but 3 head badge holes suggesting the Raleigh logo was there. It also has Raleigh decals but I don’t think they are original. I was reading somewhere that it’s likely to be a super course or a competition model. How would I tell the difference?

Can’t clearly make out the frame number unfortunately either to confirm it’s year.

Re badged Carlton?
All sorts of one offs, came out of Worksop back in the day.

I will check my old catalogues

You are right on your models. No idea how you would tell them apart other than from components.
Maybe the geometry was different?

a '73 Competition would have Huret forged ends and an Alatet headset,

a Harrington full-sloping crown

subject machine has Raleigh headset, stamped ends and Vagner crown

braze-ons and cantis inconsistent with both models
