Serial number

I have a Schwinn Le Tour and I have no idea of how old it is. It was given to me back in 2010 and I have been riding it ever since.

I looked up the locations of the serial numbers but I'm still lost. It appears as if there are two serial numbers. But according to my research their should only be one.

More pictures of the entire bike, please. I had a made-in-Japan 1976 Le Tour. Can't remember what the head tube badge looked like. Probably didn't say Chicago.

I would guess its of 80s vintage or newer based on the head badge.... but I could be wrong

1801 = 180th day of a year ending with a 1, it is a 1981. Ignore the serial number, just look at the Schwinn catalogs from 1981, they are all on line.
