None of my Raleighs have any of that furniture. Close but not exact. I think it's a Japanese copy of a brit sports model. The crown looks exactly like my old Carlton Corsair.
I got a frame a couple of years ago and it had been painted. It took me over a year to find what it actually was and only by a random photo of a dropout.
