For what it's worth, features tend to trickle down from high end models, to low end models, over time. While a Sprint my have been 10 speed and had no bottle bosses in 1980, it's very possible that it was 12 speed and had bottle bosses by 1982. However, as I stated before, I also can't rule one of the lower Rekord variants. You'd need the right 1982 catalogue, to be sure.
