That headbadge does place it as a 1960s model. I believe that headbadge started in 1963 (or at least my '63 catalog describes it as "a new, vivid version of cycling's most famous mark"). By 1970, the headbadge was different.

In terms of model, the double crankset is the same as on several models shown in the '63 catalog--the Gran Sport, the Sprite, and the Blue Streak, but none of those has top tube pump clips. Unfortunately, there isn't a lot online about the '60s Raleigh models, and the serials #s are no help at all for that period.
