Help identify my raleigh please

Retro Guru
Hi all, I was given a raleigh a couple years ago. I haven't been able to identify the model though. The guy also had a red and black raleigh which I think is the team replica? Anyway, he used to race and TT on these raleighs back in the day. He said this green one came as a frame (iirc) and was repainted by raleigh at some point. The forks may not be original either?
The serial number under bb reads: ws2001659
It has campy dropouts. Thanks

Last of the pics.
Parts may not be original (if it came as a frame only).
Of course bar tape isn't and that'll be coming off soon.

Frame number puts it at December 1982 Nottingham built. Looks like the same frame as the Raleigh Competition 12, Rapide 12 or the Carlton Pro-Am 12. Check for evidence of holes behind the headbadge decal or if filled look inside the head tube...no evidence of holes would suggest it's was a Carlton Pro-Am originally. Odd it has Campagnolo rear dropouts as normally Vitus, what are the front can you post a picture 👍

Sure, I'll check for holes in head badge area.
I'll also try see what colour is inside frame (head tube or bb) to see if its different. I'll get some pics of the forks dropouts and post them up soon. Thanks

Sorry, must have missed one of the pictures of the forks, I can see that they are Vitus dropouts. Another possibility with no headbadge is a BSA Competition 🤔
