Hi Mark
As far as I know, white Pros were only 1969 and into 70, at least in the US. The catalog picture is virtually useless beyond showing that the bike is mostly white. If the pics of mine forwarded to you by Jim N are not sufficient, let me know and I'll send some more to you. Time to drag that poor thing down out of the rafters anyway.
The decal most often missed or overlooked (because it's almost always missing.) is the seattube decal of the oval style Raleigh headbadge. If anybody knows where these might be available..... Otherwise, there were just the script "Raleigh" on the downtube, script "Professional" on the toptube, and the white/gold/white stripes between the colored bands on the seattube. Reynolds decal at the top of the seattube. I don't remember ever seeing any "Carlton" decals anywhere. Maybe a little "Made in England" decal at the bottom of the seattube. Nothing on the fork blades. All of this subject to the whims of Nottingham.
