1950's Triumph 10-speed

I know that Triumph is seen by many as the red-headed stepchild of the Raleigh family, but this "Sebring 200" intrigued me enough that I drove an hour to get it. I just don't see many 10 -speeds of any make from the 50's or earlier. The seller insisted that it was from the 50's based on the head badge style & color. I had my doubts until I saw the oil ports on the BB and both hubs, the (right side) lamp boss & bracket, and the 27 x 1-1/4" chrome Dunlop rims. I don't recognize the hub logos. The single chainwheel is interesting but not original, as far as I can tell. I would guess the bike is from around 1960 at the latest. What say ye?
