Centurion Elite RS

Does anyone know anything about this model designation?

Mr. Wright's excellent article [http://www.sheldonbrown.com/centurion/index.html]

says:
The Elite RS and Elite GT appeared in the mid-1980s and, like the Super LeMans and LeMans which followed them in the pecking order, appeared with progressively improving frame materials and components over the years. These two Elite models were a step down from the Comp TA and Pro Tour, respectively, with only their three main tubes of Champion #2.
And Mr. Marshall's index states:

ELITE GT (1984): Entry level touring model with a single butted, Tange #4 frame, SunTour MounTech derailers, Sugino triple crank and Dia-Compe cantilevers.
I'm considering making an offer on an ebay bike that has tange #2 stickers and am wondering what the fork is made out of. It has 600 sis components, so presumably it's more recent than 1984.
