I think the kickstand may have indeed been stock.. the original owner is long gone..

I Looked up the bike on line and did find some articles and I don’t see any with kickstands. I did see one someone totally restored but it didn’t have a kickstand either. The reason being I wanted to see a picture of a drilled kickstand. I don’t see it listed on the spec sheet either. I am beginning to suspect it was an add-on after market. I have a friend that has an old Raleigh steel bike with rod breaks and he got a rear axle kickstand from a company in India that still makes bikes like it. I will continue to research it to see. But like some suggested the classic bike forum might be better informed than we are.
I am not emphatic about it not being stock.
