It could be an early to mid 70s Raleigh,
scrape the paint off the rear dropouts/ stays are they chrome?
The bottom bracket cup does look like early 70s Campy, but it is kind of rusty
The frame lugs look similar to my 76 Peugeot PX 10,
it has a Reynolds 531 double butted frame and stays and forks.
Though the way the rear stays are attached to the seatpost lug looks kinda cheap.

Can you really tell by tapping on it since the ends are connected it should make a different sound?
I may agree with you that it could be a 70s bike, but a Raleigh? How did you come up with that one? Do you remember how many bikes had chrome drop outs or stays in the late 70s to early 80s? A ton.
I think its a Campy cup also, but Sugino cups were the same.
