Chas Roberts dating (Roughstuff)

Simb

Retro Newbie
Have just picked up a Chas Roberts Roughstuff and was trying to find out about it's history & age.

Seems to have 2 numbers on the bottom of BB.
Non-Drive Side: 000437
Drive side: OX 143-BS

I have read some explanation of the non-consistency of Roberts numbering, so hoping that someone with better knowledge then me can illuminate?

Thanks for any help
 
Do you have any photos? The type of components might help, I have one but that has a month/year/number that month frame number.

I know the last owner changed it from drops to straights. God knows what else over the years...
