Unknown Raleigh w/753 tubing (Birmingham)

Wonder what lurks beneath? The SB means it's an Ilkeston built Raleigh Team frame.

It has been sprayed over but appears to read SB1155.

Appears to be. Seat tube reads "Priory" to my eyes. Serial number indicates year 76/77, so a very early 753 model (tubeset was introduced in '76).
