As far as I know, the RRA will always say RRA on the top tube whereas the Record will say Raleigh Record. Also, I can't seem to find anything RRA past the early 70's, but that doesn't mean much. You might checkout retroraleighs.com and compare the bike you looked at with the Raleigh Records in the catalogs.
