I'll post a few of my machines up a bit later as I think they fit your definition, a Singular Osprey, a Mercian Audax, a Mercian Classic/Olympic, and a Mercian King of Mercia, although that one has cantis it's 531c and definitely more Audax/ST geometry but cantis for bigger tyre clearance.

Not really an older thread as this is periodically updated with new content. Agreed that a sports touring is an audax bike. Older racing bikes are basically sports touring/audax bikes as well as they had eyelets and had sufficient room for a 28c tire and a fender. Looking forward to seeing the pics.
