Is my Holdsworth Holdsworthy?

Hi all. I have this bike. Apparently a Holdsworth Equipe which I believe was built in the 70's? The frame number says otherwise though. Maybe it's not a Holdsworth at all!? I have the feeling that it has a had a respray and decals put on for that 'authentic' look. It is great to ride but not knowing what I'm riding has started to bug me and subsequently if it is an Equipe is it worth restoring? Your knowledge and help would be greatly appreciated. I've attached some photos below :)

Wow a wealth of information there, thanks! I guess it had a respray and if it is an Equipe it might be one of the last they made in 1980!? shame about the badge, I guess they're pretty hard to get hold of these days. What I have just noticed after having a look at several images of Equipes is the pump holder is on the top tube and NOT the seat tube like mine. It might be a Claud Butler!?
