hard to say, there is no good shot off the headtube to see if it has been machined away, also i cannot see the two part seatstay.but the frame did change every year,with slight tweeks

Head tube def looks to be machined from the pics he's posted.

seat stay tubes are not stepped - I don't think its a Lite

It looks very much like a race lite to me, the "stepped" seat stays were present on OR frames and early race/race lite frames, but the later race/race lites and privateers did not have them. The only real conclusive way to tell a race lite from a race/privateer, is the machined head tube which looks to be present here.
