Welcome.
not much to work with until you can post images.
You can load them into an album before you get 10 posts.
rare would be a frame from either brand without a serial number.
not saying it did not happen, but.
if the bike had been repainted, all bets are off regarding visible numbers.
from the dates you mention, having a headbadge at the beginning would be most likely- orientation and measure between centers could help.

I concur. It looks a lot like an Evans Viscount 200, minus the head/top tube fairing.

Maybe go back and emulate or copy the paint scheme and pinstripes on the original mudguards. Makes all the difference.
