The age of this Dutch bike
Hi guys, can you please help me identify the age of this Dutch bike? The frame should be Dutch Altra and the components seems to be from France except the saddle (the saddle looks like Fongers from 30s). I guess it should be from mid 70s. What do you think?
Thanks for your help!

The original would have looked more like the one on this Altra Vitesse:
