Help ID maybe not Raleigh

Edit: Almost certainly not a Raleigh!

Picked up this bike [MENTION=306057]obrentharris[/MENTION] found on CL
needing rescue. Think it could be a Raleigh Professional but the bird's mouth headlugs are less elaborate than any I can find and there's no serial under BB (and nothing filed off). So any info appreciated. If there's an alternate place to look for SN please let me know and I'll scrape off the paint there.

Has fastback stays, Cinelli-style sloping fork crown, Campy dropouts with outlets (sheldon said only UK kept eyelets on the Pro) round (not dimpled) chain stays, brazeon under tube for shifter clamp stop (I think).
