Is This a Super Course?

I got this bike as a frame/fork/headset/bottom bracket a few years ago. It was obviously a repaint and had no head badge, but the seller gave me a Raleigh badge that he had removed for painting.

I built it and gave it a test ride. It pulled to the left so strongly that I could not think about taking both hands off the bar for even a second.

Finally I took the fork to my LBS and had it checked. Their conclusion was that one blade was ahead of the other, and both blades were bent slightly to the side. After a couple of tries they pronounced that it was good and that I should try it, and bring it back if I wasn't satisfied.

This morning I got the front brake installed and gave it a run - the pull is gone. So now back to my question. Is this a Super Course?
