I have a similiar Raleigh branded derailleur.
It is all alloy except for the cage and is a real nice example of Suntour's
quality from the 70's. The cage has five holes stamped in it.The mounting
clamp appears to be interchangeable with some other Suntour derailleurs so if
you find one on an old Raleigh you could switch parts(unless it's going on an
old Raleigh)
