Component and frame-wise, that certunly looks more like a Competition than and International! The deep green paint is new to me, however.

Greetings campers and quiz contestants
More likely it's a 69 Raleigh Competition, from the time when the
Professional was white and there was not yet an International model, which
fits with the color, headbadge, Nervex lugs, fork crown, Zeus crank, Simplex
shifters, Weinmann brakes, Atom pedals, cheapy-creepy headset, and other
things I'm seeing there except sometimes the Campy drops were Zeus drops.
Also available in black. Every one I've ever seen for sale has been too
large for me. GRRRrrrrrrr.
See the 69 Raleigh catalog at the website of your choice for a stunning lack
of detail in the description.
