See pages 3 & 5 in this 1983 Catalogue ;

Raleigh continue to confuse everyone by referring to the group as a "Campag Nuovo Record ensemble" in the description alongside the Team Replica model, and in the specification on page 5 refer to NR pedals - oh and a NR chainset with SR Rings ! - Good old anal Raleigh.......

I guess irresepective of what anyone calls any of this stuff, providing everyone understands it's not such a big deal. Therein lies the problem. Can someone explain in simple terms how to spot the difference between each of the different crank and chainwheel designations because I'm baffled as usual ?

Happy 4th.....
