Also, I believe all the parts are Raleigh. The cranks have a Raleigh stamp on them and the axle had "16GC" stamped in it.
Thanks for all your help.

BB axles marked 16GC are the standard size for cottered BBs that went on 3-speeds. I just pulled one out of a '56 Humber Sports, actually. I don't know if that size would also be used on pre-1975ish road bikes with cottered cranksets.
I have a '71 Super Course with serial # on the left rear dropout and believe the early 70s builds can usually be identified that way. Of course, when it comes to Raleigh serial #s, confusion is usually the answer.
