Bontrager w/ Horizontal Dropouts, Need Info

Retro Guru
Found a Bonty w/ Horizontal dropouts but wondering if it's an "OR", Race or Race Lite and a possible year. Has the "Dart" type stickers on it and the 2 piece tube inside a tube seat stay just below the rear canti bosses.

Did the "OR" (Off Road) change name to Race when the Race Lite came out or did Bontrager produce OR / Race / Race Lite at the same time?

Owner says that they purchased when the Santa Cruz factory was closing so it could have been old stock.

my 89 OR has Horizontal dropouts, and they went to vertical in about 90 or 91. Post some more pics.

Is any of it fillet brazed?
