My Dunelt 185 NO. I suspect both frames made by Armstrong or maybe Phillips.
Here's the number:

Humpfh! I may possibly receive a tire that went missing. Any more info from the frame's seller? Was he in Britain?

Here's an Armstrong number in the same place as referred-to, with the same sequencing. Second pic is Armstrong "3-speed" with Raleigh number on b.b. shell.
UK seller didn't know where the frame went, and we tried to locate via the courier, but they thought it ended up in "lost packages" somewhere. Hence Ark of the Covenant warehouse in my mind. Then a few years later, it shows up at his place back in the UK.
