Vintage Raleigh Identity Requested

A friend wants me to refurbish his bike that he bought at a garage sale back in 1980. It was his main bike for 14 years before he upgraded, and this bike has since led many lives. Most of the components, as well as the paint and fork, are not original. Can anyone tell what model Raleigh this may have been originally? He remembers it was originally gold and with drop bars. The serial number is 3485210 which I believe dates it between 1963-69. It has what appear to be pump pegs on each end of the top tube that have been cut off, but doesn’t appear to have had the cable stops normally seen under the top tube of Raleighs. I’m leaning towards an early 60s Gran Sport. Any help would be appreciated.
