Pre-1973 Raleigh Competition Mk. II with Nervex Professional lugs and the sloping fork crown - for '73 they had Carlton Capella lugs and when those ran out for '74 they got Prugnat lugs.
EDIT: Likely 1972, when it became the Competition Mk. II - earlier versions had Nervex Pro lugs but used a different box-style crown and not the sloping crown.seen here.

-----
full sloper a Harrington rather than the usual Davis
when looked upon straight on from front or back it is quite thin out in the middle between the steerer socket and the blade plugs
