Interesting thing I found on another forum. Apparently the white spires paint scheme by the head tube and on the fork with the 5 color seat tube chevrons was a one year only scheme for 1953. It was in honor of the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II. Assuming that information is correct along with the hub date B Type 3 should confirm it being a 1953.
