Frame ID: please help

Any idea what this is? Under the pink paint there's the remnants of a head transfer. It has Nervex lugs, fluted seat stays, track dropouts, 2 oil ports on the bb shell. Underneath the shell is a ref no 1334. It has been built up with younger parts. Anybody recognise the frame make?

It looks late 1950s. All standard frame components, so any one of 100 could have built it, unless the number is recognised.

Probably built 73 / 73 angles, the head looks a bit steeper?

Thanks. I think I've worked it out, based on what's left of the head transfer. The colours and pattern - gold, bordered by blue, with a dash of red - match those seen on Harry Daycock machines, as per the attached picture. Assuming that's the case, the reference number (and its location) dates it to the late fifties, as you say.
